Lille defender talks up Valencia switch

Lille defender Mathieu Debuchy has revealed that Valencia are interested in signing him.

The France international said that a move to La Liga would interest him, but told L'Equipe that it is not up to him to decide.

"It is part of my thinking," said the 26-year-old. "I know Valencia are interested in me, but I'm focused on Ligue 1 for now.

"I want to end my season positively here before thinking about a possible transfer. I have to accept that I am under contract and I won't make the choice."

Debuchy won the first of his three caps for France against Norway in August 2010.
