Ligue 1 Deadline Day: Marseille sign three amid Martial saga

Marseille brought in three players on transfer deadline day but those Ligue 1 clubs who were active in the final hours of the window were upstaged by Anthony Martial.

Teenage striker Martial is poised to complete a big-money move from Monaco to Manchester United for a fee that reportedly could be as high as €80million after travelling to England for a medical.

Nantes' Papy Djilobodji is likely to be joining him in the Premier League, the centre-back is set to finalise a switch to Chelsea.

Lorik Cana will take his place in Michel Der Zakarian's team after joining from Lazio.

Centre-back Rolando came in from Porto, and full-backs Paolo De Ceglie and Mauricio Isla arrived on loan from Juventus, with Mario Lemina going the other way and Doria switching to Granada in a loan move.

Striker Robert Beric signed for Saint-Etienne, Rennes acquired midfielder Juan Fernando Quintero and striker Jeremie Boga on loan, and Brazilian defender Pablo moved to Bordeaux on a four-year deal from Ponte Preta.

Lyon added midfielders Lucas Tousart and Olivier Kemen, Bastia signed Florian Raspentino and Rennes' Axel Ngando, Ligue 2 side Metz brought in Emmanuel Mayuka and Ricardo Pereira joined Nice on a two-year loan.
