Bafetimbi Gomis' loan move to French club Marseille is thought to be close to being finalised after a major stumbling block was removed.

Swansea and OM had been in dispute over how much each club should contribute towards the forward's wages.

But reports attributed to L'Equipe on Friday suggested Swansea had agreed to put up 40% of Gomis' pay packet.

Gomis has fallen out of favour at the Liberty Stadium, and coach Alan Curtis last week said he could leave within a matter of days.

And that switch to the Stade Velodrome looks as if it is now a step closer.

The 30-year-old made 35 appearances last season, scoring seven goals, although has not started a game for the Swans since April 2.
