Ayew brothers and Nicolas N’Koulou declare loyalty to Olympique de Marseille – Ligue 1 news
Olympique de Marseille’s young charges, Andre Ayew, younger brother Jordan Ayew and summer signing Nicolas N’Koulou have sworn allegiance to the club after the trio were linked with a move away from the Stade Velodrome.
Since the beginning of the 2011/2011 Ligue 1 campaign, the likes of Andre Ayew and N’Koulou have been in great form for Les Phoceens despite Marseille’s poor start to the Championelle. However, since then, things have improved considerably for the Rhone giants.
With its rumours, the upcoming winter transfer window can certainly unhinge things at a club in turmoil. However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 can be assured of a brighter future ahead after the Ayew brothers and N’Koulou stated their loyalty to the club.
21-year-old Nicolas N’Koulou was signed from AS Monaco in the summer transfer window and has become an integral part in Didier Deschamps starting XI. Pairing up in the defence with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Souleymane-Diawara-c33850, the youngster has caught the eye of many European clubs with his self-assured performances in the heart of the defence.
While talking to the media, N’Koulou admitted of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429’s interest in him and said that he was flattered. “It’s flattering and it motivates me because I think that my efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. Now with a possible desire to leave, I say clearly, this is not the time. I have just arrived at OM and I need to prove a lot of things,” the Cameroonian said thus alleviating doubts of a rumoured move to the English side.
The Ayew brothers on the other hand have been equally impressive for the Rhone giants so far this season. Reports suggest that Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are keenly monitoring the performances of Andre Ayew. However, the Munich giants are also equally interested in Andre’s younger brother http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-Ayew-c19098. The 19-year-old has been in goalscoring form for Les Phoceens in recent games but has ruled out a move to the Bavarian club.
“It’s fun playing together at the club. But we are very young for now and we will take our time. We a re in no hurry to leave,” Jordan Ayew said while talking to RMC.
The recent news of the trio’s commitment to the club is certainly a good one for Didier Deschamps who has finally seen his side get back to their best form after a poor start to the campaign.
