Low on finances and short on targets, Ligue 1 giants Olympique de Marseille have now turned their attention towards the Belgian Jupiler League with Jeremy Perbet under the radar of the Rhone giants who are in desperate need of a new striker
French striker Jeremy Perbet might be an unknown quantity in his own native country but the 27-year-old striker is certainly becoming one of the biggest stars in the Belgian Jupiler League.
The Clermont Foot graduate made a permanent move to R.A.E.C Mons last year and has scored an amazing 15 goals in 15 games. currently, the Frenchman is the topscorer in the league and is attracting a lot of interest from France.
The native of Le Puy-en-Velay fully knows about the interest his performances have generated.
While talking to L’Equipe, Perbet spoke of his own dreams. “My ultimate dream? It would be to play in Olympique de Marseille,” said the striker honestly.
Olympique de Marseille are also keen on signing the striker as Didier Deschamps is keen to take some burden off France international Loic Remy. The departure of Andre Ayew and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-Ayew-c19098 would certainly make things complicated for Deschamps and the French
tactician sees the Mons striker as a great replacement.
Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 coaches are also full of praises for Perbet. Former RAEC Mons coach, Albert Cartier said, “Jeremy is 27. He still has five good years ahead of him. He is clearly ready to go higher.”
However, Perbet’s agent has for now cooled down interest by explaining that Perbet would also welcome a move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753.
“The Ligue 1? He does not think too much. Jeremy prefers the Bundesliga and the Dutch League,” said the agent thus making things a little bit complicated for Marseille who have reportedly been monitoring the striker in recent months.
However, it still remains to be seen whether Marseille would seriously consider signing Jeremy Perbet or not. History shows that topscorers who arrived in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belgium-c2850, had little success. The likes of M’Bokani (AS Monaco), Dosunmu (Nancy Lorraine)
and Mendoza (Marseille) are some of the examples of players who arrived in France from Belgian with glowing reviews yet failed to live up to their true potential.
