Olympique Marseille coach Didier Deschamps wants to keep hold of winger Hatem Ben Arfa.

Ben Arfa has been linked with Everton and Manchester United this month.

"The issue for the duo of Ben Arfa and (Mathieu) Valbuena was game time and I understand their disappointment they do not get that," Deschamps told L'Equipe.

"(But) they like me, they have pace and they have given a boost to this team. They will stay. I have no doubt at all about their involvement."
