Bafetimbi Gomis completes Marseille loan move

Bafetimbi Gomis has left Swansea City on a loan deal to join Marseille. The striker scored 17 goals for the Welsh side and leaves with 2 years remaining on his current contract.

Gomis, who joined the Swans on a free transfer from Lyon two years ago, is still very highly rated at the club but it is understood that manager Francesco Guidolin has many other transfer targets that he wants to complete before the transfer window ends.

Gomis had also interested other French sides such as Monaco, but opted to move to Marseille instead. According to reports, the Stade Velodrome side also have first option on making a transfer permanent next summer.
