Couple of news to update you guys on..

Cameroun putting the full-court press on AJ Auxerre's top scorer, Paul-Georges Ntep de Madiba. He's a French Youth International who was born in Douala, Cameroun. Rumors are that Cameroun are soon going to be processing his papers to switch allegiances. The kid has been the speculation of a transfer to one of Arsenal or Roma the past month leading up to the Winter transfer period.

Other country putting the full-court press on duo-nationals has been Cote d'Ivoire, with German Youth International and Arsenal midfielder, Serge Gnabry under the spotlight. An Ivoirien delegation has been set to meet with him and his parents during the run-up to the World Cup. So expect something soon from the promising Gunner.

With the recent hype surrounding young EPL starlet, Nabil Bentaleb of Tottenham, its come to no real surprise that the Algerien Football Federation have come knocking on the door of the young Franco-Algerien to be a part of their World Cup squad. They'll have a real fight on their hands though, as France and England have also shown genuine interest in the 19 yr old midfielder to be a part of their Senior Team set-up aswell.
