One of the most wanted players in France, one of the most more likely to keep his team in the summer. His last mission in France is always to support Guingamp gain promotion. Jonathan Johnson profiled Gianelli Imbula with this yearas Le50, and he's the real deal. Since becoming the youngest person in Ligue 2 record when he made his debut aged just 17 years, a month and four times in 2009, large things have already been predicted from Gilbert aGianellia Imbula. Fast-forward to 2012 and his team En Avant Guingamp are complicated for promotion to Franceas top-flight for the very first time since their relegation in 2004. A provincial club, just their distress 2009 Coupe de France win (yes, while these were in the second level) and a 2006 Intertoto Cup decorate the trophy case. That little standing has, however, enabled the Belgian-born, Franco-Congolese midfielder to fly underneath the radar, staying somewhat unrecognised. That hasnat stopped Premier League factors Arsenal and Chelsea from spotting his expertise, but until summer at least, he'll remain at Guingamp. Unlike former teammate and last yearas Le50 agent Anthony Knockaert, EAG have been able to hold onto Imbula after slapping a a9.5 million cost on his head. Nevertheless, the membership that helped launch the careers of Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda, Vincent Candela and Stephane Guivarcah won't have the ability to hold him past this season unless they attain the Promised Land of Ligue 1 for an eighth season within their living. Even if they do, there's no assurance that the 20-year-old will stay at the Stade du Roudourou. On the message, Imbula is really a defensive midfield enforcer. An athlete with rate and fresh energy and a ferocious competition, he's deceptively skilful and has excellent way of a person who hasn't yet felt any degree of international football. Left-footed and fairly large (6ft 1in), Imbula is just a hard-working box-to-box midfielder in the mold of Newcastleas Moussa Sissoko, and is effective at matching the assault despite being based further back on the frequency. Even though he's the capacity to increase a teamas attacking expertise, it's some thing we seldom see from Imbula. Alternatively he wants to target on his defensive tasks, but he is a lot more than effective at finding the net together with his favoured remaining peg, as anyone who observed his thumping travel against Le Havre earlier in the season will acknowledge. Actually, that attack is the third one of his career up to now with goalscoring likely the weakest point of his game. His others are planning and set pieces, something he must work with given his shape. Goals may be some thing of a collectoras object with Imbula, but he adds more in the proper execution of helps. The truth that EAG manage to hold regular clear sheets is testament to the control the midfield general has over his sideas defensive efforts. Despite a good amount of talent throughout the frequency at senior level, it's amazing that the Royal Belgian Football Association (KBVB) haven't seen fit to even hand the Vilvoorde native a sole under-21 top so far. aThe next Claude MakAlAlAa he might be, but athe next Moussa Sissokoa is much more likely. Imbula has got the raw characteristics becoming a top Ligue 1 star if given the opportunity. But if he is to move on sooner rather than later, it appears likely that he'll identify his likely elsewhere if nourished effectively. His worth is undermined slightly by his lack of ability before target, but that's something that may be increased with time. Ligue 1 knowledge will gain Imbula and if Guingamp reach the Promised Land then it'll be thanks, partly, to him. If he leaves Brittany too early his lack next time may but prove expensive for both parties. To read about more exceptional young playeras like Imbula, you should buy Le50 for only 99p.
