Crystal Palace midfielder Yohan Cabaye has been linked with a move back to France over the last few weeks with Marseille the reported club interested.
These rumours came about when Cabaye said that Marseille’s new project in Ligue 1 was ‘attractive’, this quote led to many reports in the French media saying that he was excited about a possible return to his home country.
However, these rumours were put to bed on Tuesday night as Cabaye took to twitter to confirm that he has no plans to transfer to Marseille in the summer. He said: “I confirm @flogazan! Thanks for reestablishing the truth!!!”

It appears the Crystal Palace player was watching L’Equipe du Sir, where journalist Florian Gazan explains, relayed by Goal France: “Cabaye first and foremost wants to stay in the Premier League, whether it is at Crystal Palace, where he has a year left, or in another club as he has other contacts in England.”
“He’s very happy in England, where he still has a very good reputation, and doesn’t have the intention of retuning to France.”
Yohan Cabaye who has scored twice and assisted twice this season will miss Palace’s game against Arsenal on Monday night due to injury, and given his importance to the team, he will be a huge miss to the Palace squad.
