Lille forward Sofiane Boufal declares that he wants to remain at the club until the end of the campaign despite being linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Lille forward Sofiane Boufal has outlined his desire to remain with the club until the end of the season amid speculation over his future.

The 22-year-old has been linked with moves to Tottenham Hotspur and Inter Milan due to his impressive form for the Ligue 1 outfit this season, but he has insisted that he wants to continue to develop his game under Frederic Antonetti.

Boufal told La Voix du Nord: "You know, I still have a lot of things to learn and for the moment let me grow little by little. Before thinking about a transfer, I am thinking more about the team.

"Even though we have pulled away from the relegation zone, we are still in a difficult situation. I am thinking more about helping the team than about leaving.

"Will I be here at the end of the season? 99.99% yes. My agents are dealing with all that and I ask them to let me concentrate on football. They know that I want to have a full season here."

Boufal has scored four goals in 14 appearances for Lille this season.
