Loaned to OM by Manchester City with a purchase option estimated at €20m, Issa Kaboré arrives in Marseille to replace Pol Lirola numerically and thus compete with Jonathan Clauss, author of a very good start to the season. But according to Hubert Velud, coach of Burkina Faso, Issa Kaboré can clearly establish himself as a holder.
Never satisfied, theOM has just registered a new reinforcement in the person ofIssa Kabore.

Issa Kabore get to theOM to compensate for the departure of Pol Lirolawho joined Elchebut also with a view to competing with Jonathan Clauss, who has also joined theOM this summer.
Kaboré perfectly compatible with the Tudor system at OM
Indeed, in an interview with Provence, Hubert Veludcoach of the Burkina Fasomake sure thatIssa Kabore has the means to impose itself as a holder: ” Yes, it is fully compatible with this system. I’ve seen OM’s last two games and he’s exactly the type of player they need. They need two excellent players in the right lane to make the season, so he will have playing time with the number of games that OM attend. I think he will surprise: he will not be far from Clauss, even if I also like this player a lot. But Issa is much younger, he has a lot of room for improvement. »

Clauss will have competition
Hubert Velud to decipher the differences between Issa Kabore and Jonathan Clauss. ” There is more power in Issa. He and Clauss go back and forth in the hallway, they have as much physical capacity to chain them. On the quality of the center, they are everywhere at the same level, even if Issa uses more power and Clauss is a little more technically fine. “, he assures before targeting the weaknesses of the former Trojan. ” On the purely defensive aspect, in the placement, tactically and in his interventions. But in selection we play four behind and he is doing very well. I really believe in him and in his ability to impose himself in a big European club. Given his age, he will still progress, not only in contact with Clauss, but thanks to the general context of OM. By that, I mean the structure of the club, the technical staff, it will take him to a new level, I’m sure of it. This arrival is a very good thing for him and for OM “, he adds.
“He’s a warrior, he’s not afraid of anything”
Therefore, Hubert Velud is convinced thatIssa Kabore is made forOM : “ Yes, he can. It is the understudy, in quotation marks, of Clauss, but it is necessary to see if it cannot pass to him. Mentally, he’s a warrior, he’s not afraid of anything. At the first selection meeting, he had an ankle injury and I was able to use him without any problem, he was ready to give his body and his blood for the country. You can go to war with him, that’s what Marseilles needs. » Jonathan Clauss has been warned!
