For a long time OM looked for a number nine to occupy the tip of their attack, now they have two. The signing of Cédric Bakambu, expected for several days, was formalized this Thursday by Olympique de Marseille. Free of any contract after a visit to China, the Congolese has signed up for two and a half seasons with the Olympians. He is therefore linked with his new club until the summer of 2024.
After stints in Sochaux, Bursaspor, Villarreal where he exploded in the eyes of Europe and finally in Beijing Guoan (Chinese D1), at 30, Bakambu will discover Ligue 1. What to bring competition to Arkadiusz Milik, l the only “true 9” of the Marseille squad, whose performances are not entirely satisfactory and whose playing time is only reduced when he is injured or when Jorge Sampaoli makes Dimitri Payet evolve into a “false 9” .
