Report: Gianelli Imbula not interested in Stoke City move

Porto midfielder Gianelli Imbula has reportedly turned down the chance to move to Premier League side Stoke City.

The 23-year-old joined Porto from Marseille in the summer, signing a five-year contract with the Portuguese outfit.

The French Under-21 international has struggled to make his mark for his new side, however, and a number of clubs have been linked with a move.

According to L'Equipe, Stoke submitted an offer for the Belgian-born midfielder, but Imbula was not keen on a move away this month.

Imbula has failed to score in 19 appearances for Porto this season.
