Olympique de Marseille have made enquiries over KAA Gent forward Hyllarion Goore (20), according to L’Équipe.
Marseille are yet to make their first signing of the summer transfer window, with the club currently prioritising sales as they look to improve their financial position. However, sporting director Grégory Lorenzi is already working on potential reinforcements ahead of the new season.

One of the attacking profiles being considered is Goore. L’Équipe reports that Marseille have taken information on the Ivory Coast forward, although the interest remains at an exploratory stage and no offer has yet been made.
Gent are counting on the 20-year-old, who signed a contract extension with the Belgian club in April which ties him down until 2029.
Goore made 43 appearances across all competitions last season, scoring five goals and providing four assists. However, just 19 of those appearances came from the starting line-up.It will add to a significant shake-up offensively for OM, who could yet see the departures of Amine Gouiri and Igor Paixao. The former is being targeted by Serie A side Como, whilst the latter has been tracked by Leeds United in the Premier League.
