Olympique de Marseille have made two signings from fellow UEFA Champions League group-stage participants with midfielder Edouard Cissé arriving from Beşiktaş JK and FC Girondins de Bordeaux defender Souleymane Diawara also heading to the Stade Vélodrome.
Cissé return
The 31-year-old Cissé returns to his native country joining on a free transfer from the Turkish champions and penning a two-year deal. The former Stade Rennais FC, AS Monaco FC and West Ham United FC player spent two years with Beşiktaş playing 54 league games following his transfer from Marseille's arch-rivals Paris Saint-Germain FC.
Consistent performer
No details of Senegal centre-back Diawara's transfer have been released. The 30-year-old was one of the key men in Bordeaux's title-winning campaign last term, only missing two league games all season. Diawara spent two years with Laurent Blanc's outfit, making 64 top-flight appearances, after arriving from Charlton Athletic FC.
