"He played under me at Feyenoord, and above all, he’s a great person," Slot said. "Marseille are signing a very good player, and he fits Roberto De Zerbi’s style."

Marseille host Liverpool in a sold-out Vélodrome as they continue their Champions League campaign, with De Zerbi’s side seeking another step toward the knockout stages.

Arsenal forward Ethan Nwaneri is expected to arrive on loan until the end of the season in the coming hours.
