Marseille slammed for letting Leicester striker Slimani to join Lyon

Olympique Marseille have been slammed for allowing Leicester City striker Islam Slimani to move to Olympique Lyon.

Slimani was undergoing a medical with Lyon yesterday ahead of joining on-loan to the end of this season.

France Football's Nabil Djellit has reacted by stating: "Slimani was made for OM, OM was made for Slimani.

"Previously, it was packed with cash. With (Jacques-Henri) Eyraud, much less. He is looking for nuggets not ready to resell them.

"SuperSlim is just there to score goals. Once again, (OL president Jean-Michel) Aulas taught the Marseillais a lesson."
