"Marseille" has confirmed that they have reached an agreement with London's "Arsenal" represented by the safe Abou Diaby since 2006.
The Frenchman bid farewell to the "Gunners" after the expiration of the contract. It was not extended due to injuries that constantly plagued the player.
Diaby had previously received an offer from "West Bromwich", but rejected it and decided to return to his homeland.
The 29-year-old Frenchman signed a contract where his salary will depend on the number of games played. In the last two seasons, the midfielder barely made it onto the field twice.
Arriving in London nine years ago from "Auxerre", Diaby was considered as Patrick Vieira's replacement, but the footballer's career unfolded unsuccessfully.
