Marseille signs Tomas Hubocan from Dynamo Moscow
Marseille has made an attempt to fill the void left by Nicolas Nkoulou's departure to Lyon by signing Slovakian centre-back Tomas Hubocan from Dynamo Moscow to a three-year deal.
Hubocan, 30, joins the Cote d'Azur side after participating in two of Slovakia's Euro 2016 group stage fixtures, signing with Marseille through June 2019, the club announced Friday.

Able to ply his trade both in a central defensive position and on the left, Hubocan joins Marseille after two seasons in the Russian top flight with Dynamo that were preceded by a six-year spell with Zenit St. Petersburg.
His tenure with Zenit was a decorated one, as Hubocan was part of a side that captured two Russian Premier League titles and two Russian Super Cups.
Hubocan becomes Marseille's third significant defensive signing of the summer window after the club lured full-backs Hiroki Sakai from Hannover and Henri Bedimo from Lyon.
