Leandro Damiao agent talks up Marseille

Leandro Damiao's agent has denied any contact from Marseille but admitted that the Brazilian striker would be attracted by a move to the Stade Velodrome.

The 23-year-old has repeatedly been linked with Tottenham Hotspur, but the Premier League side run the risk of missing out on his signature with the French side believed to be weighing up a bid.

"I haven't been contacted by Marseille, the club's board have not many any offer for my client," Vinicius Prates told Sambafoot. "However, Marseille are a great club and the standard of life is good in France.

"Besides, the French league has become very competitive with great clubs such as Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain and now Monaco.

"I think Marseille would be an interesting club for Leandro Damiao, especially since there is still nothing done with Tottenham."

Damiao has scored 10 goals in 13 appearances for Internacional this season.
