Josh Duffus made his debut as a starter for 2 minutes against AEK in the Europa League under the leadership of Roberto De Zerbi, the current coach of OM, in Brighton. His current contract expires in a few months, and although discussions are taking place for an extension, no agreement has yet been reached with the English club. This contractual situation alerted several teams, notably Olympique de Marseille, but also Club Bruges, Valencia and RB Leipzig. The latter closely observed his performances, especially after his superb goal against Leipzig in the Premier League.
Since the start of the season, Duffus has shown his full potential with the Brighton U21 team, already scoring 10 goals. His versatile profile, capable of playing both in attack and on the wings, makes him a sought-after player. At 19, he is attracting increasing interest from Premier League clubs, but OM could be an ideal destination for the young talent, especially under the management of De Zerbi, who knows his qualities well.

The fact that De Zerbi is now at the head of OM could facilitate negotiations and allow the club to position itself in strength in this matter. The winter market could therefore be decisive in this matter.
