l'OM eye Samba star

Marseille are being linked with a summer move for Brazilian wing wizard Denilson.

Marseille are being linked with a summer move for Real Betis' Brazilian wing wizard Denilson.

Officials from the Stade Velodrome outfit are scouring the market for a creative attacking force and reports are suggesting they have trained their sights on Denilson.

The 27-year-old still has a further five seasons to run on his contract with the Seville-based club, but rumours are suggesting he may consider a loan move after losing his regular starting berth this term.

Galatasaray's Franck Ribery has also come under the microscope at l'OM, but it is believed that the skills of Denilson are most attractive to the French club.

Denilson said recently that he would wait until the summer before making a decision on his future, while Betis are reported to be ready to negotiate a loan move for the skilful Samba star.
