The 25-year-old Ivory Coast international already has a number of clubs chasing him, including Fulham and his former club Paris St Germain. Stoke manager Tony Pulis is said to be a huge admirer of the former Dunfermline man, and is said to be weighing up a £1m move for the player. However, Hibs are said to be looking for closer to the £2m mark, and Bamba’s former club Dunfermline are due 20% of any profit made over the £50,000 Hibs paid for him. Bamba is currently still on holiday, after being given an extra few weeks off, following his attendance with Ivory Coast in South Africa for the World Cup. Sadly Bamba didn’t feature due to a knee injury, despite playing all qualifying games prior to the tournament.
