**Giannelli Imbula Praises Lassana Diarra’s Impact at Marseille**
Like André Ayew and André-Pierre Gignac, Giannelli Imbula also left Olympique de Marseille last summer. The Franco-Central African midfielder has been playing for FC Porto since the start of the season.
To fill the void left by Imbula, Marseille signed Lassana Diarra, whose dynamic performances have quickly made him a key player for the club. Diarra’s form has also earned him a call-up to the French national team.
In an interview with Canal Football Club, Imbula spoke highly of his former Marseille teammate. “He’s an impressive player, with great recovery and running skills,” said Imbula. “Afterwards, Lassana Diarra is Lassana Diarra, everyone knows him. I saw him this season against Lyon and he’s doing Lassana Diarra. Yes, I would have liked to play with him.”
Imbula’s praise highlights the significant contribution Diarra has made to Marseille since his arrival, filling the gap left by departing stars.
