Unsettled Marseille duo loaned out

Olympique de Marseille have agreed to let two players leave the club on loan deals until the end of the season with Algerian international striker Salim Arrache joining fellow Ligue 1 outfit Toulouse FC and midfielder Vincent Gragnic moving to Ligue 2 side ES Troyes Aube Champagne.

Toulouse boost
The 25-year-old Arrache joined UEFA Cup hopefuls Marseille from RC Strasbourg in the summer but has failed to establish himself in the first team under Erik Gerets or former coach Albert Emon, making just seven league appearances and starting just once. His arrival will boost Toulouse coach Elie Baup's attacking options with Guinean forward Fodé Mansaré leaving for the African Cup of Nations in January. Toulouse are currently 12th in Ligue 1 and out of European competition after finishing bottom of their UEFA Cup group.

Gragnic move
Meanwhile, Gragnic, 24, has also struggled to win a spot in Gerets' side, with just four outings since a summer transfer from Ligue 2 side FC Libourne Saint-Seurin. He moves to Troyes although the second-tier side do not have an option to buy the player at the end of his spell.
