The 23-year-old is a product of La Paillade’s youth academy, and has turned out to be a resolute defender for the French outfit. The defender is a player of great potential, one who has the ability to adapt quickly. He’s also the captain of the Ligue 1 side.
The Frenchman has been attracting great interest from several European clubs, including London-based giants; Arsenal and Chelsea. Keeping him could prove to be a difficult task for Montpellier, as they would try to hold on to their prized-asset. However,
a lucrative offer with the promise of playing for a top European club could prove to be too hard for the Frenchman to resist.
Reports of Chelsea’s scouts observing Mbiwa in La Paillade’s recent fixtures are signs of the club’s increasing interest in the full-back. With the European Champions cash-laden reserves, they seem to have the required capital to tempt the defender to join
Stamford Bridge.
Despite the Blues having reliable center-backs in the form of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Branislav-Ivanovic-c7994, the London-based club is still keen on signing the Montpellier ace. The defender is believed to exhibit the same leadership skills like that of
current Chelsea skipper, John Terry, and could prove to be a vital addition to the squad.
However, the race for signing the Bangui-born full-back could prove to an uneasy one. As city rivals, Arsenal, are also believed to be interested in signing the player. Arsene Wenger is said to be a long time admirer of the player, and wants to bring him
to the Emirates stadium. The French tactician finds Mbiwa to be a solution for the club’s defensive woes, following the expected departures of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thomas-Vermaelen-c35002 from Arsenal.
