Marseille draw up list of January targets

Marseille are being linked with quite a few high-profile footballers as they prepare for the January transfer window, according to Le 10 Sport.

The French giants signed the likes of Batshuayi, Alessandrini, Doria and Barrada this summer, but with coach Marcelo Bielsa not consulted over the four players, it is hardly surprising they are not in his first team plans at the moment.

Given that the Chilean has led OM to one of the best starts of a season in recent years, chances are some of his wishes will be granted in the winter transfer window.

Taking also into account that up to five players will be absent in January due to the Africa Cup of Nations, Marseille are almost certain to sign a number of quality footballers.

As far as back line is concerned, Nantes hotshot Papy Djilobodji remains the number one target, whereas Samuel Umtiti and Aly Cissokho are also on their radar.

Clement Chantome and Morgan Sanson are the two midfielders on the list, while Wissam Ben Yedder and Andy Delort are being looked at as potential replacements for Andre-Pierre Gignac.
