Olympique de Marseille have announced the signature of former LOSC, Saint-Etienne, Arsenal and Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who arrives at the Orange Vélodrome on a three-year deal from EPL giants Chelsea.

What a coup for OM! Marseille announced the signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on Friday evening. The 34-year-old Gabon international striker is coming off a spell at Chelsea, and has scored 41 goals in 120 Ligue 1 Uber Eats games. After spells with Lille and Monaco, he exploded onto the scene at AS Saint-Etienne, scoring 16 and 19 goals in his final two seasons in the top flight between 2011 and 2013. PEA then went on to shine for Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal, before recent spells at Barcelona and Chelsea.

Frank Magri to the Téfécé

Toulouse FC have recruited a Ligue 2 BKT revelation =. On Friday, the side who finished 13th in Ligue 1 Uber Eats last season reached an agreement with SC Bastia for the transfer of Frank Magri.

"I'm very happy and very proud to be joining the Téfécé after a great season at Sporting Club de Bastia," said the 23-year-old striker, who scored 13 goals for the Corsican side in Ligue 2 BKT last season, on the club's website. "When you're from Agen, you're a young footballer and you dream of playing at the top level, playing for Toulouse is really rewarding."

The young striker, who came up at Angers, will be making up for the departure of Englishman Rhys Healey, who was injured for a long time last season. The length of Magri's contract was not specified. He is TFC's fourth summer signing, and their first French one, after Spanish midfielder César Gelabert (22), Dutch winger Ibrahim Cissoko (20) and Venezuelan midfielder Cristian Casseres Jr (23).

Reda Khadra: Reims' new attacker

Following the signatures of Oumar Diakité, Amine Salama, Ludovic Butelle and Teddy Teuma, a fifth signing has joined on at Stade de Reims. Reda Khadra, a German U-21 international, has signed a four-year contract with Reims. An attacking player who can play anywhere across the front line, he was previously with English club Brighton but is coming off two six-month loan spells in the Championship with Sheffield United (16 games, 1 goal) and Birmingham (16 games, 4 goals).

The former Borussia Dortmund academy prospect, a fan of Franck Ribéry, is being touted as a defensive dynamo by his new club, who evidently found the words to win him over.

"I was impressed by what the sporting director and the coach had to say," Khadra said. "I've got the feeling that I'm joining a competitive team that isn't afraid to let its young players play. The coach is hungry for victory and the club's project has been very consistent for several seasons now."
