In search for good players at low costs, Olympique de Marseille have identified a player each from AJ Auxerre and Nancy Lorraine in a bid to strengthen the squad ahead of the new campaign
“He is surely not the most experienced attackers at Auxerre but the former Amiens man arrived last summer and last night was a big success in his short Ligue 1 career,’ said L’Equipe about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AJ-Auxerre-c38247 player Kossoko Omar.
The 24-year-old arrived in the 73rd minute against Paris Saint-Germain and put in a man of the match performance as the Burgundians held the cash-laden boys from Paris to a 1-1 draw.
It is understood that the young ‘bourguignon’ attacker has pleased many clubs in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899.
Canal Plus reports that the Mantes-la-Jolie-born midfielder has appealed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 a lot. Les Phoceens scouts feel that they can sparkle the rough diamond from Bourguignon.
Though he has made just cameo appearances for Auxerre, Omar has indeed shown certain interesting qualities, both technical and physical. And if Ajaccio do not guarantee him Ligue 1 football for next season, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Omar-c28540 would be tempted to follow his football career
in a Ligue 1 club which could be Marseille.
Though Didier Deschamps is not really keen on signing him, Jose Anigo and Vincent Labrune feel that the 24-year-old certainly has the qualities they seek in order to rebuild Marseille.
Same goes for Bakaye Traore who is currently under contract at Nancy Lorraine who have slowly made their way out of the relegation zone. Though they are not out of the woods yet, Nancy may well survive in the end. However, Traore, seems to have done all
he can for Nancy’s cause and could be set for a new adventure.
The 27-year-old’s contract is set to expire soon and he is most likely to be playing in a new club next season.
With five goals in his last 4 Ligue 1 games, the Mali international finished third in the African Cup of Nations for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mali-c2951 and has had a great second half of the campaign for both club and country.
L’Equipe claims that the midfielder is attracting a lot of attention from Marseille, AC Milan and Aston Villa.
But one thing is certain, signing two players from relegation-threatened teams clearly means that Marseille will be looking to sign players at low cost this summer.
