Giannelli Imbula, Marseille’s new acquisition, has quickly earned praise and recognition, notably following his first goal against Saint Etienne (2-1). The player, hailed as the best in Ligue 2 last season, has seamlessly integrated into the club, and his qualities are being acknowledged by his teammates. After Mathieu Valbuena, Togolese international Alaixys Romao has also commended the 21-year-old player.
Romao expressed his admiration, stating, “If he continues like this, with the qualities he has, he can go very far. He’s a very young player. As everyone sees, he can easily pierce the lines and project forward well. He has very good technical qualities, a great vision of the game, so if he improves further, he will be able to go very far. He is carried forward a lot but defends very well too. He listens very well.” Romao’s words highlight Imbula’s versatility and potential for further growth, making him a promising talent for Marseille.
