The 28 year old was linked with a move to Newcastle United all summer but the deal fell through at the last moment as he failed to agree personal terms with the Magpies. The striker was intent on a move to St.James Park this summer but club president Jean Michel Aulas was adamant to hold onto him.<br />

However, the French footballer insists that he bears no hard feelings towards the club administration and he would respect the contract that he has .<br />

Speaking to L'Equipe , Gomis said: "The chairman doesn't do only bad things towards me. He wanted to defend his interest and I defended mine.<br />

"Now the transfer market is over and we have to work hand in hand again. I bear no grudge against him. I won't forget but I am just here to work.<br />

"If I made a decision to stay, that means I respect the hierarchy. I will remain at Lyon until next summer."
