Yohan Cabaye has put Premier League clubs on alert after admitting he wants to return to England.
The Paris St Germain midfielder left Newcastle in January 2014 for £19million but has found it difficult to nail down a first-team place, starting just 13 Ligue 1 games this season.
Cabaye is seeking regular first-team football ahead of next summer’s European Championships in his native France and has attracted interest from West Ham and Crystal Palace.
Arsenal also made a bid for Cabaye prior to him joining PSG and when asked whether he was considering staying at the club next season, Cabaye told L’Equipe: “Not really. I know that if I stay, whatever I’ll do, nothing will change.
“If there is an opportunity to go back to England, I hope everyone will be smart enough to do things well. I was criticised when I went to Newcastle. Sometimes it’s better to go backward in order to go forward.”
