Treble swoop for Marseille

Monaco captain Gael Givet is among three players to have signed for Marseille.

Marseille have completed a triple raid on the transfer market, including a deal for Monaco captain Gael Givet.

The defender is joined at Stade Velodrome by Le Mans full-back Laurent Bonnart and Auxerre midfielder Benoit Cheyrou.

Givet has signed a four-year contract with Marseille after bringing an end to his career-long association with Monaco.

Bonnart has agreed a three-year deal with l'OM after successfully passing a medical with the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.

The third arrival on the South Coast on Thursday is Cheyrou, who follows in the footsteps of his brother Bruno by donning a Marseille shirt.

Marseille are also still trying to finalise a deal to keep Djibril Cisse on loan from Liverpool for a further season.
