Rennes forward M'baye Niang flattered by Marseille links

Rennes forward M'baye Niang has stated he has an interest in Marseille amid the growing transfer speculation linking him with the club.

The Olympians are looking to strengthen as they return to the Champions League for the first time in seven years, after finishing second behind PSG in the abruptly-ended Ligue 1 season.

Niang has been heavily touted to join the club, with his family based in the city. The 25-year-old Senegalese player earlier asserted he would not be insensitive to a potential move.
