He joined Angers in the summer of 2022 and swiftly established himself as a key figure in midfield, playing an important role in the team’s performances.
His consistent displays also earned him regular call-ups to the Algerian national team, cementing his status as one of the standout Algerian players in French football.
The midfielder’s arrival is expected to significantly bolster Roberto De Zerbi’s options in the centre of the pitch, with Abdelli tipped to bring creativity, energy and vision to Marseille’s midfield as the club pushes forward for the remainder of the season.
