Ligue 1 Under the Spell of the Toulon Tournament's Mexican Revelation
The Toulon Festival Tournament began less than a week ago, but already some players are starting to attract attention. The examples include the tournament's current leading goalscorer, Mexico's Marco Fabian, with six goals in three games (including a hat-trick against Morocco); the forward, who has already debuted with Mexico's full senior side (which came to pass in January), begins the summer defending the colors of his club side, Chivas de Guadalajara (9 goals in 28 appearances).
Attracted by the services of the versatile and illusive attacker, who is capable of wreaking havoc on defenses from any position along the forward line, certain observers have begun to follow him closely. Ligue 1 teams are obviously among the teams whose eye he has caught. "The people who represent me have informed me that there are scouts that follow Mexico closely. It's been a while, but there are scouts from Spain, France and England, but I remain focused on the team," the player told Mexican sports daily Récord.
It is difficult to tell at the moment, but after the ascent of Javier Hernandez after coming through the ranks at Chivas,
the teams of League 1 (the name of OL -- Olympique Lyon -- has been mentioned, notably) could gamble on his successor for club and country this summer. Especially after Ajaccio's Guillermo Ochoa demonstrated that this kind of bet can pay off.
The compe ion is fierce, considering that Atletico Madrid, Malaga and Liverpool are also interested, according to reports. So, could Marco Fabian stay in France after the Toulon Tournament?
