From France: Marseille enquire about another Swansea player after Gomis deal

It seems that one Swansea player wasn’t enough for Marseille this summer.

After bringing Bafétimbi Gomis back to France on loan for the 2016-17 season, the Ligue 1 club have turned to another former French league player in Franck Tabanou.

The left-back, who can also play further forward, was signed by the Welsh club last summer from Saint-Étienne, but failed to have any sort of impact, eventually ending the season back on loan at his former club.

Returning to Swansea after Saint-Étienne failed to get a permanent deal sorted with the Premier League side, the player is now after a new club.

According to Mohamed Bouhafsi on Twitter, reporting for RMC Sport in France, Marseille contacted Swansea on Monday to enquire about the left-sided player’s availability.

The French journalist also claims there is interest from Spain for the 27-year-old.

This isn’t much, but it’s a start, and it seems unlikely Tabanou will be a Swansea player next season.

Whether that is only temporary or permanent, we’ll have to wait and see.
