Signed last January, Amine Gouiri needed no time to adapt. The Algerian striker arrived at OM with ambition.

In just 13 appearances, he's found the back of the net 10 times and provided 3 assists. On Saturday against Le Havre, he bagged a brace and set a new record. He becomes the first player in OM history to reach 10 Ligue 1 goals after joining in January, dethroning Arkadiusz Milik, who was stuck at 9 in 2021.

But more than just a goalscorer, Amine Gouiri has become a symbol—a symbol of Marseille’s attacking revival. His movement, his ability to combine in tight spaces, his technical precision... all of this has changed the face of the Marseille side, who will return to the Champions League next season.

He came to OM under criticism from some supporters and so-called "journalists"
He answered on the pitch by scoring 10 goals in just 13 matches for OM, sending his club back to the Champions League after years away.
