Just a year ago Chimbonda was a virtual unknown when he was signed by Premiership new boys Wigan Athletic. However, after a fantastic season with the Latics that ended with him being named in the Professional Footballers' Association's Team of the Season, he was a shock inclusion in Raymond Domenech's plans. Chimbonda is likely to leave the JJB Stadium this summer after handing in a transfer request on the last day of the season with Tottenham his likely destination. The 27-year-old full-back, who was born in Guadeloupe, played for Le Havre and Bastia during a seven-year spell in France.
