Ligue 1 2016/17: 10 of the worst transfers of the season

#7 Marvin Martin – Dijon

Martin had so much promise that has simply drained away

The definition of a one-hit wonder, Marvin Martin has struggled to live up to the great season he had at Sochaux back in 2010/11. In that campaign, he had a gluttony of assists that earned him a call-up to the France squad and a move to Lille a year later, but it has been all downhill from there.

With Frederic Antonetti admitting he wasn’t in his plans for Les Doges, Martin moved to newly-promoted Dijon. A club looking for a creative outlet to add to their attacking team, this could have been the move that rejuvenated a career that has been hibernating for some time.

Two injuries and one assist later, it’s not exactly gone to plan. With some of the club’s old guns surpassing him and the strikers able to score plenty without him, the once-exciting youngster will yet again be wondering what went wrong.
