JONATHAN CLAUSS is undergoing a medical at Marseille ahead of a £6.8million move from Lens, according to reports.
Manchester United and Chelsea have both been tracking the full-back.
But he appears set to snub the Premier League to stay in Ligue 1.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Clauss is on the verge of signing for Marseille after arriving in the city to undergo his medical.

He will join Granada's Luis Suarez as a new addition for l'OM.
