Fulham and Bolton Wanderers are battling for Le Mans' off contract fullback Jean Calve.
"It should not be just because the club want to sign a free agent.
"I need to play to keep improving. It has been a beautiful season, the most consistent of my career.
"I have been the most-used player for the club this season. That is a good sign. It is hugely satisfying, but also because the results have been good."
