Bamba’s agent cools Arsenal talk
The agent of Vitoria Guimaraes midfielder Ibrahima Bamba has cooled talk of his client joining Arsenal before Tuesday’s January transfer deadline. Reports have strongly linked the 20-year-old with a move to Mikel Arteta’s side and talk on social media heightened when his agent, Filipe Macedo Alves, was seen in London.
“It’s true that I was in London, but I am just arriving from Germany, where I was watching Edmond Tapsoba’s game,” Alves told O Jogo. “Bamba is not the only player I work with. He [Bamba] has a player profile that is clearly of interest to many clubs, but today he is a Vitória player and is only focused on Monday’s game in Chaves. The market is open, but I’m not going to feed rumours.”
