Newcastle United right-back Mathieu Debuchy has played down media speculation linking him with big-spending Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco by declaring that he is happy in England.
.
The 27-year-old France defender, who joined Newcastle from Lille in January, has been linked with a return to France during the close season, but he says he is content at St James' Park.
.
"I don't know about the rumours saying I have been contacted by Paris or Monaco. I feel good in Newcastle. I want to stay In England. I love the Premier League," he told local newspaper The Chronicle.
.
Debuchy found himself pitched into a relegation fight upon arriving at Newcastle and he admits the pace of the English top flight came as a shock to the system.
.
"For me, the Premier League was a big discovery. Everything is much harder than it is in France. The game is faster and the teams are better, even the small teams," he said.
.
"I also had to learn a new language as I did not speak English. It was complicated, but right now it is better. I love England, even if it is different."
Newcastle FC is definately a good club to be in. Any player would be happy to be in that kind of club.
