Charles Kabore

[We Hate Scouse 10,327]

Charles Kabore’s progress at Olympique de Marseille is being closely examined by English giants Chelsea, who have reportedly sent chief scout Frank Arnesen to watch the holding midfield player on several occasions in the recent past, according to France Football.

Burkina Faso international Kabore played an increasingly important role in les Phoceens’ charge to the Ligue 1 title, featuring from the start of 21 games, playing either in an anchoring midfield role or at right back. His most telling contribution was the opening goal in the home match against Olympique Lyonnais, which OM would ultimately go on to win 2-1, giving them a springboard from which to attack in the closing weeks of the campaign.

The 22-year-old Kabore has played with the Stade Velodrome club since 2008, when he signed from Libourne-Saint-Seurin, though it has only been in recent times he has made an impression in the first team.

I follow Marseille quite abit and Kabore is a decent player, but that's as far as it goes. He's a defensive midfielder, but has filled in a variety of positions over the season, notably right back.

He's decent, but hasn't shown enough to say he can dislodge Essien and Mikel from that role, and I'd much rather Matic get a chance than sign Kabore.

But how is he as a right back?
