By recruiting Elye Wahi, Lilian Brassier and Ismaël Koné last summer, all left in January, OM was wrong. Mas with Adrien Rabiot, the Marseille club had a hollow nose. Arrived free from Juventus, after five seasons spent in Turin, the French midfielder (29 years old) was quick to prove himself in the Marseille midfield, even proving to be more decisive than expected with already 5 goals to his credit in 18 matches in all competitions.

I can also be lower to help in the middle. I like this rather hybrid role, quite free in the end. »»
