With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-Ayew-c19098 closing in on a move to OGC Nice, Jose Anigo and co would be able to spring one last surprise on the final day of the summer transfer window
This August, French media spoke about the rumour linking http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 striker from English Premier League side Reading.
However, with the transfer window now closed in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, the Riviera club is in a strong position to get the signature of Andre Ayew’s younger brother. According to various sources, Jordan is nearing a move to Nice which means that Marseille will have the
necessary funds to make one last summer signing before the transfer window shuts down.
However, it appears that Les Phoceens are not willing to part way with the talented striker on a permanent basis. Instead, Jose Anigo has sanctioned only a season-long loan spell. The move is a way for the player to get some playing time away from the Canebiere,
something that he has longed for.
The probable departure of Ayew will clear up an extra spot in the Marseille first-team which means that coach Elie Baup might be able to recruit one more player.
While talking to the media regarding this, Baup said that the club will recruit a new player if a player leaves the current squad.
“If today, a player left, he would be replaced by another player.”
However, it still remains to be seen which position would be covered. Les Phoceens lack players in the defence, particularly, down the left. Although the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mendes-c25206 gives the side a good defensive option, Baup wants a recognised left back in
the squad as well.
Reports claim that Jose Anigo and co are seriously studying the option of signing Swiss international http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Reto-Ziegler-c30895 from Italian Serie A side, Juventus.
Another possible recruitment could be of a winger who can operate down the left-flank. Baup is not against the idea of acquiring a new offensive option. However, having a new defender seems to be on everyone’s mind so one last surprise may be in the offing
tonight.
