Celtic defender Bobo Balde looks like he will complete a move to Marseille this week with Marseille sporting director Jose Anigo stating:

Marseille are confident of capturing Celtic defender Bobo Balde this week.

'The Balde deal should be done. I've seldom seen somebody who has such a desire to join us.

'He knows the club and he's ready to leave the stability of a good contract in Glasgow to Marseille.

'He has a strong personality and has all the essential qualities of a good defender.'
