After struggling for regular football at Monaco, Lucas Ocampos has joined Ligue 1 rivals Marseille on an initial loan deal.
Lucas Ocampos swapped Monaco for fellow Ligue 1 title hopefuls Marseille on an initial loan deal on Monday.
The versatile forward moved to Monaco ahead of the 2012-13 campaign when the club were in the second tier of French football.
However, the Argentinian has found first-team football hard to come by at Stade Louis II this term and has started just seven times in the league.
Marseille have subsequently swooped to take the 20-year-old to the Stade Velodrome on a temporary basis, with Marcelo Bielsa s men retaining the option to make the deal permanent.
Ocampos could make his debut in Marseille s visit to Rennes on Saturday.…
