Foot OM – OM: A Valbuena bis in Marseille, it excites the transfer window

Whether or not the championship has resumed, Olympique de Marseille still has a good chance of playing in the Champions League next season.

A nice comeback that will have to be done with honors, to avoid the fiasco of the last participation, with a zero scored in the group stage in 2013-2014. Unfortunately, the economic situation does not inspire optimism, and one or two major departures are feared. Recruitment level, we will not have to wait for stars, and it is rather towards low-profile recruits that OM hope for good surprises. It had worked last summer, since the arrivals of Alvaro Gonzalez, Valentin Rongier or Dario Benedetto did not necessarily have enough to make the front page.

For next summer, the Provençal club could take advantage of its place in C1 and its prestige to recover a player for free. This is Jimmy Cabot, a former feudoise from Troyes now in Lorient. At the end of the contract with the Breton club, the winger does not seem to have left to extend despite the likely rise of the Hake. According to France Football, which draws a very flattering portrait, this is an opportunity not to be missed for OM, despite the presence of Besiktas in this dossier. Thus, FF describes Jimmy Cabot as a player with the profile of “Mathieu Valbuena”, and recalls that he is also the best dribbler in Ligue 2. A good plan which would represent a risk measured on the financial level, even if at 26 years and with fifty matches in Ligue 1 on the clock, Jimmy Cabot has not yet managed to make an impression at the highest level.
