Spurs midfielder Benjamin Stambouli has ruled out a move back to France in the coming summer transfer window in his latest comments.
Stambouli has struggled to nail down a first team spot in the starting eleven under Head Coach Mauricio Pochettino, and despite reports linking him with a move back to France, the midfielder has said that these reports in fact have no truth to them at all.
The holding midfielder since signing for Spurs last year has had to battle for a starting place with young starts Nabil Bentaleb and Ryan Mason, who have formed a strong partnership in the middle of the park.
However, Stambouli is still determined to be successful at Spurs, and has rubbished recent reports linking him with a move to Marseille.
“I am aware of what is being said, and I think, no, I won’t be coming back to France. I am thinking about getting a bit more game time in England. I choose England for lots of reason, and so I will stay. It is there that I want to succeed. Maybe one day I will return to France. But today, my head is here. “I have a month of holidays to recharge. I will see what I do. But, if there is something, it will be in England. My priority is to succeed at a Premier League club.”
