Olympique Marseille have opened talks with Tottenham fullback Danny Rose.

L'Equipe says OM sports chief Andoni Zubizarreta is now in contact with the England international.

Zubizarreta knows Rose wants to leave Spurs and he is keen to take him on-loan.

However, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is insisting only on a straight sale with a €25m asking price mooted.

Zubizarreta has until Friday to find an agreement with Levy for Rose.
