Cabaye ‘flattered’ by Marseille interest but pledges to battle for Palace

The France international insists he will do all he can to keep the Eagles in the Premier League despite being linked with a move to Ligue 1

Yohan Cabaye has admitted that he could be tempted to join Marseille in the summer.

The France international is currently on the books of Crystal Palace, who are fighting against Premier League relegation, but he has hinted that in the summer he could be persuaded into departing England for France.

“It’s flattering, because OM are one of the great French clubs,” he told L’Equipe Enquete.

Palace suffered a humiliating 4-0 loss to fellow relegation strugglers Sunderland last weekend, and relegation to the Championship would surely only increase the odds of the former Lille and Newcastle star returning to his home nation.
