BR - One of January’s earliest transfers in Ligue 1 was Foued Kadir’s switch from Valenciennes to Marseille. The Algerian playmaker had six months left on his contract with Daniel Sanchez’s side and had been a major factor in VA’s over-achievement so far this season. Understandably, he wanted to challenge himself elsewhere and move whilst his stock was high. At 29, that challenge presented itself in Marseille and the attacking midfielder now takes on the task to inspire OM to a sustained title challenge.
