Abou Diaby: West Brom target signs for Marseille

 

Former Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby has signed for Marseille after rejecting a contract at West Brom. 

The France international, 29, had a medical at the Hawthorns last week but has instead returned to Ligue 1 nine years after leaving Auxerre. 

Diaby was released by the Gunners last month after making 182 appearances for the club since 2006, but just two in the last two seasons. 

Marseille signed another former Arsenal midfielder, Lassana Diarra, last week. 

No details were revealed by Marseille over the length or terms of Diaby's contract.

Shaw Post would like to offer Abou Diaby the best of luck at Marseille this season. We hope that he can stay injury free this season and get back to his best form so that he can gatecrash France's Euro 2016 team.
