Hibernian's Sol Bamba Claims Liverpool Interest


Souleymane 'Sol' Bamba appears to see his future away from Hibernian's Easter Road ground, and claims interest from some interesting names: French outfits Lorient and Grenoble, and also Premier League big guns Liverpool.

The 24-year-old former Paris Saint-Germain youngster first came to Scottish football with Dunfermline, before moving on to Hibs.

Liverpool have moved for Sotirios Kyrgiakos - who previously played in Scotland for Rangers - in terms of boosting their options in the centre of defence, yet the Ivory Coast international is adamant.

"I've been told by my agent there has been a lot of interest in me in the summer," Bamba told The Daily Record.

"Liverpool, Lorient and Grenoble are all following me, and obviously it's flattering.

"Any player would be attracted to a club of Liverpool's size, but I can't think too much about that until there is a concrete offer from them."

Hibernian appointed John Hughes as their new manager this summer, and the gaffer is unlikely to be thrilled to see the stopper looking outside of the green half of Edinburgh.
