The January transfer window is upon us and there are several high-profile moves that have been announced so far. One of the most interesting deals involves Marseille signing Bayern Munich's former wing-back, Lucas Almeida.

Lucas Almeida was a key player for Bayern Munich during his time at the club, but he has struggled with injuries this season and has found himself on the bench more often than not. As such, Marseille saw the opportunity to bring him in as a replacement for their struggling wing-backs.

Almeida will join Marseille on loan until the end of the season and could be a valuable addition to the team's attacking options. He has experience playing both left-wing and right-wing positions, which should give Marseille some versatility going forward.

While Almeida may not be able to replicate his previous success at Bayern Munich, he can still provide a much-needed boost to Marseille's wing play. With Almeida in the squad, the French side will be better equipped to compete against other top teams in Ligue 1.

Overall, the signing of Lucas Almeida by Marseille is a positive move that shows the club's commitment to improving its attacking options. While it remains to be seen how effective he will be once he gets back into the lineup, his arrival could make a significant difference to the team's performance in the coming months.
