Olympique Marseille has reportedly entered the highly competitive race to secure Noah Atubolu's signature this summer.

According to Sky Germany, the French club has a "concrete interest" in the wantaway SC Freiburg shot-stopper.

The 24-year-old still dreams of a move to the Premier League, but so far nothing has materialized on that front. 

Two newly promoted sides in Coventry City and Hull City produced offers earlier this summer, but Atubolu declined both.

Meanwhile, Serie A's sleeping giant Juventus Turin also have the German on their shortlist of goalkeeping options.

Freiburg, who have already signed Mio Backhaus as his replacement, are holding out for a transfer fee of €20million.
