Crystal Palace midfielder Yohan Cabaye has hinted he would be keen to move to Marseille at the end of the season.

France international Cabaye was Palace’s record signing when he joined from Paris St Germain in the summer of 2015 but, after a bright start, has struggled to have the impact Alan Pardew envisaged when he reunited with his former Newcastle charge.

This season Cabaye has scored just two goals and provided the same number of assists, though his form has improved somewhat as Palace returned to winning ways over the last month.

However the 31-year-old suggested that his future at Selhurst Park after the season is over may be up for debate, telling BeIN Sports: “We are still in the mindset of fighting relegation. That is my priority. For the rest, we will see.

“I know [Marseille manager] Rudi Garcia well, Marseille have a good project. In life, everything is possible. I do not know what the future holds for me. I am open to all.”

Under new owner Frank McCourt Marseille have shown a greater ambition to battle the likes of PSG and Monaco at the top of Ligue 1 and brought Dimitri Payet back to the Stade Velodrome from West Ham for £25million.
