Marseille
Ligue 1
Trains fully, option against Paris FC
Paixao (undisclosed) trained fully and will be an option for Sunday's clash against Paris FC, the club posted.
ANALYSIS
Paixao finished last season with six goals and five assists across 30 Ligue 1 appearances for Marseille, and did everything possible to stay at the club this summer despite significant transfer pressure from the Premier League. His return to full training now positions him to build on last season's productive campaign as speculation around his future continues to be a subject to monitor.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head to England
Arsenal and Sunderland are interested in signing Igor Paixao, according to TEAMtalk.
ANALYSIS
Paixao's direct attacking style and ability to contribute from wide areas are tailor-made for the Premier League, so it's not surprising to see clubs keeping close tabs on the availability of the 26-year-old Brazilian. Paixao can provide both scoring and creativity from the flank, but Marseille's stance indicates it would take a significant late-window development to pry him away from the Stade Velodrome.
