Striker summoned to training base despite desire to secure switch
Monaco have summoned want-away striker Dieumerci Mbokani to their winter training camp.
The Congolese frontman recently informed the club of his desire to leave, having struggled to settle at Stade Louis II.
A switch to England has been widely touted, with Everton, Fulham and West Ham believed to hold an interest in the 25-year-old.
Monaco have yet to sanction a deal, though, with their efforts having been focused on managerial changes of late.
Plans
Guy Lacombe has been replaced by Laurent Banide at the helm, offering a clean slate for those on the fringes of the fold.
That includes Mbokani, who was initially left out of the Ligue 1 club's plans for the mid-season break.
Banide is keen to keen a look at the striker, though, and has called on him to link up with the rest of the squad, regardless of his desire to secure a switch elsewhere.
He told
L'Equipe: "I know he wants to leave, but for the moment he is a Monaco player and there is no reason why he would not come with us."
