Trabelsi on trial at Marseille

Former Ajax and Manchester City right back Hatem Trabelsi is on trial at Marseille with a view to a January move.

The Tunisia international, who turns 31 in January, was released by City in the summer after only one season following the emergence of local duo Micah Richards and Nedum Onuoha and has been given permission to train with l'OM by Saudi club Al Hilal, for whom he signed in November after a move to Lazio fell through.

He is currently training with the South Coast club - who had expressed an interest in him last summer - along with a group of youngsters also vying for the right back slot in the senior team.
