Paris St Germain lead the chase for Hibs defender Bamba

Hibs defender Sol Bamba has today, again, been linked with a return to his former club Paris St Germain.

The Ivory Coast defender, who was called into Sven Goran Eriksson's final 23 man World Cup Squad today, started his career at the French giants, but only managed one first team game in his time there.

Bamba, 25, then moved to Scottish First Division side Dunfermline Athletic, before moving to Easter Road in a £50,000 deal, in the summer of 2008.

PSG are said to be lining up a £1m bid for their former youth player, but should the big centre half perform well in South Africa, his value will at least double.

He still has 12 months left on his deal in Edinburgh, but it's likely he will leave this summer, with Hibs securing a decent return on their original layout for the player.

Paris won't have it all their own way however, fellow French sides Rennes, Monaco and Cean, as well as Europa League finalists Fulham are all interested in the player.
