Sebastien Corchia committed to Sochaux despite transfer collapse

Sebastien Corchia has said that he is fully committed to Sochaux despite the collapse of his proposed transfer to Lille.

The 23-year-old defender had originally agreed to join Les Dogues on a four-and-a-half-year deal, but the transfer fell through after French football's financial watchdog failed to ratify the move.

"In my mind, I am 100% a Sochaux player again," said Corchia, according to Ligue1.com.

"Everyone has given me a warm welcome. It was nice to be back with the squad. There will be no problem. I am a football player.

"I take pleasure from being out on the pitch so everything that happened was outside my domain. I was really disappointed with the way things went, but I am not downhearted, far from it."

Sochaux currently sit in 19th position in the Ligue 1 table.
