Cabaye flattered by Marseille links but focused on Palace

Yohan Cabaye is flattered by links with a move to Marseille but is focused on helping Crystal Palace s Premier League survival bid.

Cabaye joined Palace from Paris Saint-Germain as a club-record signing in 2015 and started Saturday s 4-0 thumping at home to Sunderland, which left them two points adrift of safety.

The midfielder played under Marseille boss Rudi Garcia at Lille, winning the Ligue 1 and Coupe de France double in 2010-11.

While Cabaye is honoured to hear about reported interest from Marseille, he insists Palace are his sole point of attention.

It s flattering, because Marseille are one of the biggest French clubs. But I have my life in London, my club, and I m focused on that, he told L Equipe Enquete.

I have a great respect for Rudi, the coach and the person he is. But we re in a complicated situation, that s the reality at my club.

What I can say is that the only connection I have with Marseille is that my fourth daughter was born there, that s all.
