OFFICIAL: Marseille sign Bafetimbi Gomis

Swansea City have announced the exit of striker Bafetimbi Gomis to Marseille on a season-long loan. 

The 30-year-old was left out of the Swans' squad for their pre-season tour of America. 

Gomis made 18 starts and 15 substitute league appearances last season, scoring six goals, having arrived from Lyon on a free transfer in 2014. 

His return to the French top tier sees him replace Michy Batshuayi, who left Marseille for Chelsea in a €40 million deal at the start of July.
