The 6 foot 1 defender began his career playing in Gabon for Libreville, before moving to France to play for Bordeaux, then Angers before finally ending up at his current club Lorient in 2010. <br />

Manga had been brought in to replace Laurent Koscielny at Lorient, who joined Arsenal that same summer.<br />

The pacey defender is now on Martinez's shortlist at Everton. According to reports from France, Lorient are looking for a fee of around 5 million Euros for the defender.
