OM surprised everyone by betting on Amine Gouiri last winter to strengthen her attack. A paid choice, the Algerian international having hit the headlines for his first six months in Marseille.
Disappointed with the yield of Elye Wahi, Olympique de Marseille shaken its attack in January by selling the international French hopes in Frankfurt by betting, to replace it, on Amine Gouiri. The signing of the Algerian international from Rennes has made a lot of debate among Olympian supporters, but doubts quickly disappeared. Author of 10 goals and 3 assists in six months in the colors of OM, Amine Gouiri now establishes himself as the Marseille club holder for the coming season.

A fair reward for the former OGC Nice and OL according to Boubacar Sarr, a former Senegalese attacker who passed by OM from 1975 to 1979. “Gouiri is undoubtedly one of the best deals in OM for a long time” he launched, interviewed by Foot Africa, before continuing. “It is very effective in front of the goal and has an excellent striking quality. He is a player who knows how to score very beautiful goals. I think that Minimi will be one of the big stars of OM next season ” concluded the Senegalese legend.
Amine Gouiri, new OM star
Olympian leaders share this opinion a priori since Medhi Benatia and Pablo Longoria clearly do not have the idea of recruiting a holder center for the coming season. OM is rather with a view to entrusting the keys to its attack on Amine Gouiri, and recruiting a young number new to double the position. The profile of Matthis Abbline is notably appreciated but for the time being, the positions of Marseille and Nantes are very distant for the international French hopes. Anyway, Amine Gouiri conquered everyone at Olympique de Marseille, a real victory for Medhi Benatia, who was one of the only ones to believe in the success of the Algerian when he arrived for 20 million euros last January.
