Arsenal's Francis Coquelin reveals that he is 'flattered' by speculation linking him with a move to Lille.

Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin has revealed that he is 'flattered' by speculation linking him with a move to Lille.

The 20-year-old recently expressed his frustration at his limited number of games for the Gunners this season.

However, the Frenchman has admitted that he has no intention of leaving the Emirates Stadium just yet.

"I have not had direct contact with them, but it's flattering. LOSC is a very big club," he told L'Equipe. "For now, the transfer window is not open and I am focused on Arsenal, but when there really is interest, we'll see what happens.

"In my heart, I know I can do something in this Arsenal team. But to be the best, I need regular matches."

Coquelin joined Arsenal in 2008 from French side Stade Lavallois.
