Lille defender Mathieu Debuchy admitted that he is still interested in making a move to Newcastle should the offer be available, but also insisted he is happy to stay at the French club for the time being.
A move to Newcastle fell through at the last minute during the summer, and Alan Pardew was forced to turn his attentions to other transfer targets.<br />
There had been some talk of a renewed approach from the Toon Army this January, and Debuchy admitted that he had been interested on a move during last summer: "I fought to go to Newcastle, the President didn't want that.<br />
"I didn't want to clash with him. I don't have any regrets. I had regular contact with the people from Newcastle, there were several offers of over €6m. The episode is past, I am 200 percent for Lille."
