Olympique Marseille head coach Habib Beye has labelled Tochukwu Nnadi an “interesting player” following his recent move from Zulte Waregem.

Although the Nigerian international has yet to feature since arriving last month, the tactician remains optimistic and expects the midfielder to make a strong impact once he settles in at the Ligue 1 club.

”He’s a very interesting player because he brings a lot of physical impact and is very quick,” Beye was quoted by Coeur Marseillais.

“He is a mobile player who can cover a lot of ground and is highly impactful.

Nnadi is surprising because, despite the intensity of his play, he maintains excellent control of the ball and can provide the composure we need in the center of the pitch.

”When I arrived, I spoke with him and explained that I only had 24 hours to make my decisions for the Brest match. But this week of training—like for all the players—has been of very high quality.”
