Olympique de Marseille has finally found the attacker as axial hoped to relieve some Michy Batshuayi. It’s Premier League side Sunderland, that phocéens leaders found the one. The Scot Steven Fletcher arrives on loan on the Old Port.
No, it will not be the first Scottish player to wear the Sky and White jersey. Before Steven Fletcher, who pledged on Thursday in favor of Olympique Marseille, three of his compatriots have preceded Victor Gibson (1926-1927), Thomas Francis Pritchard (1932-1933) and Alexander Sherry Patterson (1932-1933). Obviously, nobody remembers these three players, and only the newcomer account.
And because Michel was in great need of a true central striker, to compete Michy Batshuayi, and incidentally rest the Belgian international, high demand since the start of the current year and is sometimes grilled appeared in recent weeks. While several names have been mentioned in recent days, Miku Peter Odemwingie, through Bertrand Traore, Mame Biram Diouf, Eder, Yoan Gouffran, Maxi Lopez and Aly Samatta, it is ultimately the Steven Fletcher profile that was selected, who can no longer get the playing time he wants in the Black Cats.
The Scottish international (25 caps for 8 goals) is going to discover the Ligue 1 and its likely adversaries defensive, which will change it to the Premier League, where even the smallest formations still try to make lunch for the big boys. Effective in the air, generous area, the newcomer will offer Michael a different profile from that of Michy Batshuayi less technically adept but more powerful.
The question is whether the person who has submitted Monday night prior to the medical visit to signature, adapt quickly to the championship of France, had been able to do as the Englishman Joey Barton there are three seasons. With the signing of Florian Thauvin, this loan without purchase option Steven Fletcher seems complete the winter transfer window of Vincent Labrune and his staff.
