French giants Olympique Marseille are closing in on a deal to sign Ghana youngster Nasiru Mohammed from BK Hacken, according to Foot Mercato.
The 22-year-old is understood to be the subject of a bid from Marseille and negotiations between the two clubs are apparently at an advanced stage.
Marseille have kept a close eye on the striker's progress in recent months and have now told new manager Franck Passi to make his move.

Durand is also set to watch the player again on Thursday night after he liked what he saw, in a Europa League qualifying match against Cork City.
Nasiru Mohammed’s contract expires in December 2016, which would enable Marseille to sign him for less than a million Euros.
