Jonathan Rowe

Arriving from Norwich, where he was already an idol, Jonathan Rowe discovered another dimension in Marseille: that of a club where every match is a battle and every feat a legend in the making. His first season was one of learning, marked by electrifying cameos and goals that hinted at immense potential. This young English winger has everything to please the Marseille public: blistering speed, dribbling that sticks to his feet, and the ability to cut inside to unleash his right foot.  

You can feel it, you know it, this kid has something special. He has that unpredictable side, that boldness that reminds you of the great wingers who have thrilled the Velodrome, from Waddle to Ribéry. But at OM, talent alone is not enough. They expect him to transform his flashes of brilliance into consistent performance. To add to his repertoire the defensive rigor and collective intelligence that the highest level, and especially this jersey, demand.  

The pressure is there, immense, as always in Marseille. But it's this pressure that turns good players into legends. This season, they don't just want to see promises, they want to see affirmation. They want Jonathan Rowe to take his wing, eat up space, and become one of the detonators of our attack. He has the talent, he has the personality. It's up to him to prove he has the heart to conquer Marseille. We'll be there to push him, but also to demand the best from him. That's the OM family.
