BASTIA SEEK CAMARA PROXY, LOKO SIGNS

BASTIA appear to be actively targeting a replacement for Zoumana Camara, who moved to Marseille on Monday - as well as snapping up Patrice Loko from Montpellier.

The major rumour flying around the Armand-Cesari-Furiani stadium is that Le Havre full back Jean-Alain Boumsong (pictured) is a target.

The 20-year-old was said to be close to a switch Liverpool at one point last season, but Le Havre refused to release one of their prize assets.

However, now that they have been relegated from Le Championnat, the club are prepared to listen to offers in the region of £1.5 million.

Meanwhile, Loko has joined Bastia after moving form relegated Montpellier - with him unhappy at the thought of playing in division two.

The 29-year-old forward has signed a three-year deal, but the transfer fee has yet to be disclosed.

Also, the speculation surrounding the future of l'OM coach Bernard Casoni is increasing, with the club's officials reported to be seeking a replacement.

It is likely that Casoni will vacate his coaching role and take up another position within the Stade Velodrome.
