Joey Barton: 'My work at Marseille isn't done'

Midfielder Joey Barton says that he wants to remain at Marseille to help the club win the Ligue 1 title.

Joey Barton has said that he believes his work at Marseille "isn't finished yet".

The Queens Park Rangers midfielder has been on loan with the Ligue 1 side this season, but is due to return to Loftus Road after this weekend.

The 30-year-old told Ligue1.com: "For the first time in my life I'm very happy, really content. The fans have accepted me into their hearts and that means a lot to me.

"I get the impression my work here isn't finished yet. The French and the fans haven't seen the true Barton, I expect more from myself.

"I want to do a lot more for the club. When I saw the Parisians celebrating their title, I was jealous. I would like that to happen in Marseille at the Old Port. We can do it next year."

However, Barton has indicated that his parent club are keen for him to return, following their relegation from the Premier League this season.
