Igor Paixao becomes OM’s new threat as Bruno Genesio wants him to stay | OneFootball

With Mason Greenwood and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gone, Igor Paixao has been pushed centre stage for OM. According to L'Équipe, the Brazilian has quickly become Marseille’s new attacking threat.

Four days before Sunday, he scored with a header in a 3-0 friendly win over Al-Shahania.

On Sunday at the Vélodrome, he shone as OM beat Athletic Bilbao 3-1, with Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg and Himad Abdelli quick to congratulate him.

Head coach Bruno Genesio has praised his attitude, saying he is easy to coach because he is always smiling.

Genesio wants to keep his best players and would like Paixao to stay, although a late move before the window closes remains possible.
