Filipe Macedo Alves, agent of Vitoria Guimaraes midfielder Ibrahima Bamba, was potted in London which led to speculations that the player might join the Emirates in January.
However, Alves has cooled down such rumours and told O Jogo, “It’s true that I was in London, but I am just arriving from Germany, where I was watching Edmond Tapsoba’s game. 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.”
