Done Deal: Marseille snap up Super Eagles midfielder

French Ligue 1 club Olympique Marseille have completed the signing of Super Eagles midfielder Tochukwu Nnadi.

Marseille are reported to have paid €6 million to Zulte Waregem for the Nigerian international.

The young defensive midfielder earned the move after impressing with his performances in the Belgian Pro League this season.

The 22-year-old made 18 league appearances for Zulte Waregem during the campaign.

Nnadi joined Zulte Waregem in the 2024 winter transfer window after spending three seasons at Bulgarian club Botev Plovdiv.

The midfielder was part of the Super Eagles squad at the recently concluded 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

He made just one appearance for Eric Chelle’s side at the tournament.
