OM Mercato: Big English threat for Isaak Touré
Qualified for the next Champions League, Olympique de Marseille is preparing for another turbulent summer. After the departure of Boubacar KamaraOM seeks to keep Guillaume Saliba. The 21-year-old defender was on loan this season without an option from Arsenal. Given the prowess of the central defender, the Gunners want to repatriate the former Stéphanois. As a departure from Saliba is looming, the management of Marseille would like to draw on Ligue 2. The Marseille club is interested in Isaac Toure. Aged 19, the defender tracked by Marseille plays for Le Havre AC in Ligue 2.
The Team even indicates that the young defender of Le Havre would be in advanced discussions with Olympique de Marseille. But so far no agreement has yet been reached for his transfer to Marseille.

The central defender of the HAC also has courtiers in the Premier League. As he revealed on his Instagram account, he was also in England on Thursday.
Manchester City on pole for Touré?
