Manchester City and Chelsea set up a perfect youth academy system years ago, and the logic behind it is simple: buy the most promising young kids in the world. They will either break into the first team or will be sold for bigger fees. And Issa Kabore is one of many talents who ended up in the City academy and will be looking for a new club, still in a form of a loan. The destination is still France, but this time it’s Marseille.Marseille have agreed a deal with Manchester City to sign right-back Issa Kaboré on loan with a €20m option to buy.

Marseille recently brought Jonathan Clauss from Lens to cover the right wing-back position, but coach Igor Tudor wants more cover at the position, and Kabore fits the bill. Jonathan Clauss is surely a better option, but the Burkinabe is faster and more offensive, which gives Tudor the opportunity to put him in the later stages of the game when the opponents are already worn down.Former Gunners forward signs for MarseilleWhen the 10th signing officially arrives on a loan with an option to buy for 20 million euros, all eyes will turn to the ‘needs to be sold’ group, which consists of Bamba Dieng, Duje Caleta-Car, Cedric Bakambu and Sead Kolasinac. The Senegalese striker has a green light from Tudor to find a new club, but Dieng is not trying to leave Marseille. President Longoria wants to sell him, but only for cash (12-15 million) and no loan option. Caleta-Car is a ‘victim’ of a Boubacar Kamara case, and Longoria doesn’t want another player to leave as a free agent. The Croat has a contract until 2023, and the club wants to sell him now or extend the contract for at least a year. Cedric Bakambu or Sead Kolasinac could be loaned or transferred this summer, mainly due to the fact that they have strong wages and the clubs need to trim it down. Marseille is travelling to Brest tonight and the most popular signing Alex Sanchez is in the team which will travel to face the opposition.LIGUE 1 – MATCHDAY 1FridayNantes – Lille 1-1 (1-0)/Simon 28 – Ismaily 76/SaturdayMonaco – Rennes 1-1 (0-0)/Simon 28 – Ismaily 76/PSG – Montpellier 5-2/Sacko 39 og, Neymar 43 pen, 51, Renato 87 – Khazri 58, Mbiayi 90+2/Sunday16.00: (3.40) Ajaccio (3.15) Lens (2.45)16.00: (2.40) Auxerre (3.20) Angers (3.45)16.00: (2.30) Reims (3.25) Clermont (3.60)16.00: (2.75) Troyes (3.10) Toulouse (3.00)18.05: (2.35) Nice (3.25) Strasbourg (3.50)Sunday21.45: (4.60) Brest (3.70) Olympique Marseille (1.91)***odds are subject to change
