Ex-Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye says he misses England and could look for a way out of PSG
Former Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye says he misses England and may look for a way out of current club Paris Saint Germain, where he is unhappy with his bit-part role this season.
Cabaye was a key player at St James' Park but left for Paris in a big-money move in January this year.
Speaking to L'Equipe, the former Lille man said: "You have to accept being a substitute, but I don't resign myself to that. In training sessions, I have to give my best and show my desire to play.
"When I am on the pitch, I feel it is not perfect and that I often have to leave too soon. But I know the coach and staff have to make choices and I respect that.
"Have I spoken to Laurent Blanc? No. What do I tell him? I am 28 years old and not new to the job. But I am not satisfied with the situation."
"Am I completely happy? To be honest, no. It is a new situation for me, but I don't complain. It is the first time I haven't played regularly for my club.
"With the French team, if one day the national team coach decides to play me less because I don't play often enough for my club, then I would need to take stock with my representatives."
Cabaye may have alerted a number of Premier League clubs to his situation after adding: "Do I sometimes miss England? Yes. Sometimes I think about it, but I immediately sweep that away because it would cause distraction."
