"?Aston Villa midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye reportedly wants to stay in England after their relegation to the Championship.
The "?Daily Mail report that the 26-year-old wants to stay in the Premier League, despite interest from Marseille in the French league.
He has a £7.1m release clause in his contract, and Marseille are eager to sign him, after missing out on the former Lille man last summer.
However, Gueye is believed to have instructed his agent, Mark McKay, to find him another club in England's top division. McKay is the same man who helped Dimitri Payet join West Ham last year.
"?Despite Villa's atrocious league form - they gained just 17 points from 38 games - the Senegalese international had good individual season, scoring highly with interceptions and tackles.
With the club's relegation, they may look to sell some of their key assets as they look to build a squad that is capable of gaining promotion at the first attempt.
The West Midlands club have a new owner in Tony Xia, a Chinese businessman who bought the club from Randy Lerner, and is eager to make Villa a success again.
The managerial situation is also looking closer to being resolved after David Moyes pulled himself out of the running, and the club are having talks with former Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo.
