Steven N'Zonzi: 'I want to stay at Stoke City'

Steven N'Zonzi has said that he is open to staying at Stoke City next season.

The midfielder looked to be on his way out of the Britannia Stadium earlier in the season, after falling out of favour with former manager Mark Hughes.

The 25-year old managed to force his way back into the starting XI toward the tail end of last season, and various clubs have been reported to be interested in his services.

However, N'Zonzi believes that his future remains with the Potters.

"We will see. Hopefully [I will be here next year]," he told The Sentinel.

"I've had a great season. It's been great for me, I've really enjoyed it. Hopefully I will enjoy the next season, too.

"I'm ambitious, but so are Stoke. To finish in the top half of the Premier League is a great achievement."

N'Zonzi signed a four-year deal with Stoke when he joined from Blackburn Rovers in 2012.
