In-demand Frenchman in no rush to decide on future

Metz defender Sebastien Bassong has revealed he is flattered to be linked with moves to Aston Villa, Everton and Blackburn. The Premier League trio are all reported to be tracking the French Under 21 international with Bassong enjoying a fine season for Metz. Scouts from all three clubs are believed to have watched Bassong in action this term and are reported to be lining up bids for the 21-year-old. Despite being flattered by the interest, Bassong insists he will not make a decision on his future until the end of the season.

Sit down and take stock

"I won't leave Metz before the end of the season, but then I'll sit down and take stock," Bassong told the Sunday Mirror. "I am flattered to know that such big clubs are interested in me, but right now I'll concentrate on trying to get Metz out of trouble."
