Ligue 1 club Marseille's president Pablo Longoria has said he's prepared to offer a new contract to striker Bamba Dieng, even though the 22-year-old was almost a Leeds United player in the summer.
In fact, Dieng almost signed for two different clubs in the transfer window - the first was the Whites before suddenly having a change of heart on deadline day and deciding to sign with OGC Nice.
However, a failed medical with Nice meant he had to sheepishly return to Marseille where he was dropped from the squad for the first eight games of their Ligue 1 campaign.
