Olympique de Marseille are set to rival local rivals Olympique Lyonnais for the signing of West Ham United winger Saïd Benrahma (28), according to L’Équipe.
L’Équipe reported last week that Benrahma would be tempted by a move to Lyon, who are looking to invest heavily in January in order to stave off relegation to Ligue 2. However, OM could now be set to compete for the Algerian international’s signature.
Sevilla’s Suso a target?
The club will be without Amine Harit, Ismaïla Sarr and Iliman Ndiaye during January due to AFCON, whilst Joaquín Correa has not featured since picking up an ankle injury against Ajax in late November. Marseille’s medical staff are not taking any chances with the injury, and a return date is yet to be set.
Marseille are therefore looking to sign a winger, and according to L’Équipe, two targets have been identified: Benrahma and Suso (30). However, Foot Mercato report that OM are not currently exploring a move for the Sevilla winger.
