The bargain of the summer transfer window? Meet Ligue 1 Rising Star Jonathan Bamba

With his contract coming to a end, the 22-year-old's timely return to form will likely spark a fierce race for his signature this summer

Jonathan Bamba has been regarded as one of the jewels of the Saint-Etienne youth academy for several years now.

It has only been this season, however, that the 22-year-old has started to look like something approaching the finished product.

But just as the forward has come to maturity, Sainte face losing him for virtually nothing. His deal is up at the end of the season and several clubs, including Crystal Palace, West Ham and Inter, are all monitoring his situation.
