Ligue 1 hasn’t started yet, but Olympique de Marseille fans are already drunk with happiness. The reason for this joy? The arrival of Senegalese international Iliman Ndiaye from Sheffield United. This is a return for the striker to the Marseille club since he already wore the Marseille jersey during his youth, before continuing his training in Dakar, where his family had moved.
He had also made an impression by performing a few technical gestures in front of Saint-Charles station at only 10 years old, just after his test at the club. This video emerged when the transfer was announced, and the Marseille supporters were very pleased, delighted to see one of their own join them.
Star’s welcome
Since then, Iliman Ndiaye has remained a great supporter of OM and that, the supporters appreciate. Upon his arrival at Marignane airport, around 12:40 a.m. on the night of Sunday to Monday, they also gave him a fantastic welcome. A first example of what he will be able to experience at the Vélodrome during this season. In total, more than 500 supporters were present in the middle of the night. Iliman Ndiaye even took the opportunity to sing the famous “To arms” with the fans in an imposing fog of smoke.
The Senegalese striker will now undergo his medical examination before committing definitively to the Olympian club. He is expected to sign a five-year contract. OM will pay 17 million euros to hire his services.
