Imbula has been a key part of the Marseille side that have started the season in lightning style under the management of enigmatic Argentine Marcelo Bielsa, opening up a seven point lead to PSG at the top of the Ligue 1 table.
He has been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea in the past, whilst at Rennes, and his dominant midfield displays since making the move to the Stade Velodrome are only likely to make a big Premier League move even more of a possibility for the youngster.
