Olympique Marseille loan out Franco-Cameroonian defender Alexi Koum to Valenciennes

Franco-Cameroonian defender Alexi Koum to Valenciennes have completed a move to French third-tier club, Valenciennes.

The 19-year-old left-back joins Valenciennes on a season-long loan from French powerhouse, Olympique de Marseille.

Koum joined Marseille last summer from fellow Ligue 1 side AJ Auxerre. However, the teenage sensation struggled to settle, making only one appearances during the 2024/25 football campaign.

His only appearance came in the sides 2-0 victory over Saint Etienne last December. He made a cameo appearance following his introduction 11-minutes to full time.

Koum was also named on the bench once, for OM’s season opener away at Stade Brestois.

Koum is already a French youth international, having represented his country from U16 to U19 level. A move to Valenciennes offers the youngster the opportunity to gain regular senior football.

Valenciennes finished 9th in the Championnat National last season. With just one win in their last eight games, the Hauts-de-France-based club saw any promotion hopes fade. The club is owned by Sports Republic, which also holds majority stakes in English club Southampton and Turkish side Göztepe SK.
