Paris FC defender Axel Bamba has interest from St Étienne & Atalanta

Our colleagues at Foot Mercato report that 21-year-old Ivorian and Paris FC central defender Axel Bamba is attracting interest from a number of European sides as the player’s club continues to compete for the Ligue 2 title.

Atalanta and St Étienne are following the player closely – however, FC Utrecht and Feyenoord in the Netherlands have gone a step further, approaching the player’s entourage.

At the moment, Paris FC have not formally taken a position on the matter – it seems unlikely that they will be willing to sell a player this month that they are very attached to.
