Istra (Russia) June 12 (IANS) France midfielder Steven N Zonzi on Tuesday said he was doing well at La Liga club Sevilla and was solely focused on competing with his national team in the FIFA World Cup.
N Zonzi who has been linked with a move to Arsenal insisted that players contractual negotiations do not affect the team s concentration reported Efe.
"The most important thing is not the club you play in. I ve played in the Champions League for three years in Sevilla and I feel good there " he said at a press conference here where France is holding their training camp.
However he did admit: "It s true that a transfer to a big one can favor the progression."
During the press conference both N Zonzi and his teammate Antoine Griezmann refused to comment on what direction their sporting careers might take.
"It is not something that is in our head we have a very important competition ahead and we are focused on that " N Zonzi said.
Griezmann had declined to announce whether he would remain with La Liga side Atletico Madrid despite having previously said he would take a decision before the World Cup begins on Thursday.
France is to play in Group C against Australia on Saturday followed by Peru (June 21) and Denmark (June 26).
