Marseille are set to announce the signing of winger Bolo
Zenden on a free transfer following his release by Liverpool
earlier this week.
The former Holland midfielder is expected to sign a two-year
contract at OM after completing a medical on Friday.
A statement on OM's official website read: "Boudewijn Zenden is at
Marseille.
"He is currently taking medical exams as a pre-condition to him
signing, and should then sign for two years at OM, before being
presented to the press."
Zenden, 30, has played for PSV Eindhoven, Barcelona, Chelsea,
Middlesbrough and Liverpool in a distinguished career.
He plays on the left wing, but can also play in the centre of
midfield or at left-back.
His last competitive appearance came in the Reds' 2-1 defeat to AC
Milan in the final of last season's Champions League.
He has played 54 times for Holland but not since September
2004.
Marseille qualified for this season's Champions League after
finishing second in Ligue 1 last term.
Meanwhile, OM are on the verge of selling Mickael Pagis to Ligue 1
rivals Rennes for a fee believed to be in the region of 1.2million
euros (£800,000).
The 33-year-old striker has left Marseille's training base in
Capbreton and will fly to Rennes to pen a two-year deal with the
Brittany club, according to a statement on OM's website.
