Lacking a midfielder, Olympique de Marseille would have found the player that meets the boxes checked by Gennaro Gattuso.

An acquaintance of Ligue 1 is very close to returning to it. Jean Onana, 23, should be OM’s first winter recruit, if we do not take into account the return of Brazilian winger Luis Henrique from loan after six months at Botafogo.

According to information from journalist Fabrizio Romano, confirmed by RMC Sport And The Teamthe Cameroonian midfielder playing for Besiktas Istanbul (Turkish D1) has agreed to arrive in Marseille on loan until the end of the season with an option to buy.

The profile of Jean Onana, who passed through Lille, Bordeaux and Lens, responds to the wishes expressed by Gennaro Gattuso, wishing to strengthen his midfield. The Italian coach of OM wants a player who knows the French Championship, speaks French and is operational immediately.

It is not impossible to see Jean Onana in the Marseille group for the Strasbourg reception next Fridayat the opening of the 18th day.
