Former Manchester United winger Mason Greenwood has broken a goal-scoring record for Marseille, after scoring his 21st goal of the season.
The 23-year-old joined the club last summer in a deal worth around ยฃ30m, following a season on loan at Getafe.
And Greenwood instantly hit the ground running, scoring a brace on his debut and registering six goal contributions in his first three league matches.

The Englishman has enjoyed a brilliant season, adding six assists to his 21 goals as Marseille finished second in the league.
And Greenwood starred on the final day against Stade Rennais, scoring a brace and providing an assist as Marseille ran out 4-2 winners.
It has not all been smooth sailing for the former Manchester United academy prospect, though, with rumours calling his attitude into question rumbling on throughout the season.

Greenwood was relegated to the bench for two games in March, after manager Roberto De Zerbi publicly criticised his commitment in training.
And there have been rumours of discontent within the dressing room, with some Marseille players reportedly keen to see the back of the winger.
Marseille fans made their position clear in April, holding up a banner that read: โGreenwood, get moving!โ
Despite this, the forward has kept performing on the pitch and yesterday, broke a Marseille record.
With his 21st goal, Greenwood set a new record for the most league goals by any Marseille player in their debut season in the 21st Century.
Mason Greenwood beat the previous marks achieved by Bafetimbi Gomis and Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.
The highest total ever achieved was by Alen Boksic, who scored 22 goals in the 1922/93 season.
Greenwood ends the season as the joint top goalscorer in Ligue 1 alongside PSG star Ousmane Dembele.
However, it will be Dembele who will take the trophy of top scorer due to having less goals from penalties.
But despite this stat, the player could still be on the move this summer, with links to La Liga, in particular, gathering pace.
