Injury Crisis Forces FC Nantes Interest In Marveaux Loan

Reports in France claim that FC Nantes are considering a last gasp Sylvain Marveaux loan in the January transfer window.

The French club are well placed in eighth, only four points off fourth in Ligue 1, but they have an injury crisis with at least five first team squad players currently missing.

While Newcastle United’s squad isn’t exactly bulging, Marveaux most definitely looks surplus to requirements and you’d imagine that the club would be more than happy to get him at least temporarily off the wage bill, with the possibility of a permanent deal following.

The fact Sammy Ameobi started at Norwich on Tuesday night and Alan Pardew spoke glowingly after his performance, makes it even more difficult to see any way back for Marveaux at St.James’ Park – especially as the French winger didn’t even make the bench.
