Crystal Palace midfielder Yohan Cabaye admits he's flattered by interest from Marseille.

The Frenchman has been at the heart of the Eagles' team since his arrival in 2015, but is unlikely to stay in south London should Palace drop to the second tier.

Marseille have expressed interest in Cabaye.

"It's flattering, because Marseille are one of the great French clubs," he told L'Equipe Enquete.

"We're in a difficult situation. I'm trying my best to help my team as best I can. I have immense respect for the coach, but today that's the reality with my club."
