Swansea City have announced the departure of striker Bafetimbi Gomis to Marseille on a season-long loan.
The 30-year-old was left out of the Swans’ squad for their pre-season tour of America.
Gomis made 18 starts and 15 substitute league appearances last season, scoring six goals, having arrived from Lyon on a free transfer in 2014.
The former France international graduated from the Saint-Etienne academy and went on to make 159 appearances.
His return to the French top tier sees him replace Michy Batshuayi, who left Marseille for Chelsea in a €40 million deal at the start of July.
