Michy Batshuayi has ended all speculation about his future
by signing a new and improved contract with Marseille until
June 2020.
The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with clubs such as
Tottenham and Newcastle United in recent weeks, but he
has now penned a fresh deal with the Ligue 1 outfit instead.
The striker's previous contract ran until the end of the
2018-19 campaign, but he has now signed a one-year
extension.
Batshuayi joined Marseille from Standard Liege in August
2014 and has since developed into a key player at the Stade
Velodrome.
He currently sits second in the Ligue 1 scoring charts with
11 goals from 19 appearances this season, trailing PSG
striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic by four strikes.
Furthermore, promising defender Benjamin Mendy has also
reached an agreement with OM over a new contract that will
keep him at the club until 2019.
The 21-year-old, who joined Marseille from Le Havre in
2013, had a contract until June 2017, but has signed a two-
year extension.
