WEST HAM defender Bondz N’Gala looks set to join Championship strugglers Plymouth Argyle on loan.
The young defender could join the Pilgrims, after manager Paul Mariner identified him as the ideal player to help the team fight against the looming threat of relegation.
Mariner told Plymouth’s official website: “N’Gala’s a very, very strong defender.
“He’s not an archetypal Championship defender, he’s more ability than that, but he’s an uncompromising defender who likes to defend.
“He’s been on our radar. He came in for a week’s training and we wanted to keep him but it wasn’t happening.
“West Ham had some injuries but now they’ve got players coming back they have lent him to us. We’re very grateful.
“He’s a very intelligent player and a quick learner. The important thing is he likes to defend.
“It bothers him when either a) the team he’s on concedes a goal or b) he gets beat, which is not very often to be honest.”
