Marseille make loan offer for Aarón Anselmino — report

Game time?

Technically, Chelsea cut short Aarón Anselmino's loan to have him complete his move from Boca Juniors earlier this month, and while the 19-year-old center back went straight into first-team training, it didn't sound like we were expecting him to actually play for the first-team this season.

But surely youth football would not be very useful for his development at this point anymore, so perhaps some sort of loan would be the right move? We have had a spot free up at Strasbourg following the recall of Caleb Wiley, but according to reports, we might have a non-multi-club solution as well.

L'Equipe claim that Olympique Marseille have made an offer to take him on loan for the rest of the season, with Roberto De Zerbi's team looking to add a couple reinforcements before Monday's deadline. Marseille have been the best team in France not named PSG this season, so I'm not sure how much playing time they could afford some untested teenage center back, but hey, it would certainly be a challenge.
