"In the crosshairs of "Marseille": "Sochaux" leader" © EuroFootball.com

Yesterday, after rumors spread that Jon Dahl Tomasson and Samuel Eto'o are of interest to this club's coach Christophe Bouchet rushed to deny them.

However, regardless of that, this season's finalists of the UEFA Cup do not hide that they are looking for a partner for the club's star.

Forward Tomasson, who is also one of the main players of the Danish national team, as well as Samuel Eto'o, were linked to Marseille, but now the most likely contender to join this team in the summer is player Benoit Pedretti.

"At one point we seriously considered acquiring Tomasson, but now he plays regularly for Milan and we know we won't be able to compete with the top European clubs for him," Bouchet said. "For the same reasons, we have to forget about Eto'o."

"Now our most important player is Pedretti. He fits perfectly with our team and should form a great partnership with Drogba."
