The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cameroon-c2865 international is keen on joining compatriots Nicolas N’Koulou and Stephane Mbia at the Stade Velodrome and Jose Anigo will be looking to seal the deal for the talented Valenciennes defender
Olympique de Marseille are keen on strengthening the left-side of their defence before the transfer window shuts down. Following the departure of Cesar Azpilicueta to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 a few days back, Les Phoceens might also lose the services of Cameroon international,
Stephane Mbia.
The 26-year-old versatile midfielder is attracting a lot of interest from English Premier League outfit, Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314. Reports claim that Hoops manager, Mark Hughes is keen on making Mbia his 10th signing of the season.
The residents of Loftus road are willing to give their French counterparts 7 million euros for the former Stade Rennais man, a transfer fee which could help the club finalise deals for long-term targets.
Having a good defensive partner to Nicolas N’Koulou is of paramount importance considering the fact that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Souleymane-Diawara-c33850 is a long-term absentee.
Young Valenciennes defender, Gaetan Bong’s name has recently cropped in the media and the player has been linked with a move away from the Nord region this summer.
While talking to the media, the defender admitted of his love for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899.
“Of course, I am very flattered. Marseille is a big French club and I always wanted to play for a big team. They (Mbia and N’Koulou) know that I am a professional, but they also know that I am interested,” said Bong while talking to Sport 10.
And, it appears that this is not a one-sided love affair by any means. Reports claim that Marseille also appreciate the player’s profile and are looking to move forward for the case this Monday. Although Bong is under contract at Valenciennes until June
2014, the Nord club might be willing to let go of the player.
The likes of Djamel Mesbah and Majid Bougherra have also been linked with a move to the Velodrome but Marseille might enlist the services of Bong instead considering the fact that the Cameroonian is a good long-term option.
