Marseille completes double swoop

Marseille has completed the double signing of Henri Bedimo and Hiroki Sakai from Lyon and Hannover respectively.

After a disappointing 2015-16 that saw Marseille finish 13th in Ligue 1, the club has begun strengthening its squad with the double signing of Henri Bedimo and Hiroki Sakai.

Marseille was unable to mount a challenge for the title or even a European place last season and much will be expected in the upcoming campaign to return the Stade Velodrome club back to the higher echelons.

Following the departure of Benjamin Mendy to Monaco on Wednesday, Marseille has moved swiftly to strengthen its defensive options.
