Pape Diouf representing the French club told the official website of L'OM that the 26-year old was close to completing a move that would see him sign a four year contract with the Trotters.
"It's practically done" Diouf said this morning to a number of reporters
However Hemdani was staying quiet on the speculation stating only last week that his priority was to remain with the UEFA Cup finalists for the remaining year of his contract. The former Strasbourg man has indicated he would like to move abroad at some point but his main concern at the present time is with Marseille.
"Joining a foreign club will happen inevitably, to improve on both personal and sporting levels, An experience abroad is part of the career of a professional football player nowadays. But at the moment changing club is not my priority. When the time comes I will know it and I will go."
