He has 13 appearances in all competitions and started Marseille’s UEFA Champions League win over Newcastle United, yet has logged just over 400 minutes.

Frustrated by the limited action, he has not signed a contract extension with OM. A departure before the window closes is possible.

Arsenal and Chelsea were linked last month, although a switch to Serie A is now under discussion.
