Arsenal, Chelsea and Southampton told to pay £18.5m for midfield target
PORTO have slapped an £18.5million on unsettled midfielder Giannelli Imbula.
Gianelli Imbula appeared against Chelsea in the Champions League this season
Imbula only arrived at Porto from Olympique Marseille this summer for €20 million, but has failed to settle at the Portuguese club.
His father and agent Willy Ndangi has publicly criticised Porto's head coach Julen Lopetegui for 'failing to recognise' Imbula's talents, alerting a number of English clubs to his availability.
"He's still young, he's all alone out there, it's not the same mentality, he does not know anyone," said Ndangi.
Imbula was an integral part of the Marseille side last year, making 76 appearances in his two-year spell at the club.
However, his form appears to have deserted him in Portugal, although he is still rated by a number of European clubs including AC Milan who are reported to be monitoring the situation.
