Bafetimbi Gomis has officially signed for Ligue 1 side Marseille on a season-long loan, as confirmed on Swansea’s official website.

The French striker was highly tipped for a move away from the Liberty Stadium this summer transfer window, having had a mixed two seasons in South Wales.

Gomis signed for the Swans under Garry Monk in the summer of 2014 on a free transfer from Ligue 1 side, Lyon, having made his name in the French top-flight.

The France international’s first five months at Swansea were spent as Wilfried Bony’s understudy, however after the Ivorian left for Manchester City in January 2015, Gomis was given his chance as the club’s first-choice striker.

The Frenchman netted seven goals in his debut Premier League campaign, and then scored six goals in a white shirt last season – four of which came in the first month of the 2015/16 season.

Now, Gomis has left Wales for the season to play for Marseille, who’ve just sold star striker Michy Batshuayi to Chelsea for over £30 million.
