Roberto De Zerbi has already changed the face of OM quite a bit since his arrival. But the Italian still wants to see his workforce strengthened in order to consolidate his project on Canebière.
OM changed era last summer with the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi. The Italian coach has very specific ideas of what he wants to implement in Marseille. The project is attractive but will still take quite a while before it bears fruit, if all goes well. The Transalpine team was able to realize at the start of the Ligue 1 season that its collective could still be improved, especially in attack. Reason why De Zerbi remains on the lookout on the transfer market in order to convince players to sign for Olympique de Marseille. And he will not hesitate to draw from his former club, namely Brighton.
De Zerbi wants to try to recover Joshua Duffus
According to information from Graeme Bailey, OM are indeed very interested in the idea of recruiting Joshua Duffus. The 19-year-old Englishman was launched by De Zerbi last season and will be at the end of his contract at the end of this financial year. His profile is judged to be compatible with the Marseille project. Duffus has the advantage of being able to play in several positions: attacking midfielder and right or left winger. He's not really part of Brighton's plans and won't be against the idea of a new challenge. Joshua Duffus could be a new Jonathan Rowe bet for Olympique de Marseille, even if the latter was more experienced. In 10 matches played with the Marseillais since the start of the season, Rowe has scored 2 goals for 2 assists delivered. The former Norwich player also has a great impact in the Marseille collective when he is aligned.
