Marseille winger Lucas Ocampos 'really calm' about Everton interest

Olympique Marseille winger Lucas Ocampos says he's staying "calm" amid talk of interest from Everton.

Everton chief Marcel Brands is weighing up a summer move for the Argentine.

And Campos told La Provence: "Today, I am really calm with my future. I had the chance to play in Italy in an endearing club like Genoa, and especially in a monument like Milan. Italy will always attract me, I like the professionalism that emerges from the championship.

"And then, we have seen in recent weeks in the Champions League: the Spanish and English championships are above the lot, it is there that the best players in the world play. But I do not have a preference. I will simply dwell on the projects that are proposed to me.

"Monaco was able to convince me when I was in River, then Marseille thanks to Marcelo Bielsa. When the new owners arrived at the club, it gave a new boost.

"I recognise myself in the identity of the club. So currently I do not think of anything but OM."
