Crystal Palace keeper Mandanda nears Marseille return

Crystal Palace goalkeeper is to make a return back to former club Marseille, according to reports from the Croydon Advertiser.

Many felt that Crystal Palace had pulled off a major bargain last summer after securing the services of Steven Mandanda from Marseille for a fee of around only £1.5 million and it was expected that the French international would be a huge hit at Selhurst Park.

As it turned out though, Mandanda was plagued with poor form as well as injury problems during his first ever season in the Premier League and now reports have claimed that the 32-year-old is set for a return back to France this summer by rejoining Marseille.
