Wahbi Khazri admits he'd like to stay in England if he is to leave Sunderland this summer.

The midfielder is being linked with a return to France, where he's wanted by Olympique Marseille.

Khazri told L'Equipe: "Do they want me? I think I left a good image. But for the moment, I do not have contacts from Ligue 1. I do not close any door, but I like England, its atmosphere, its full stadiums, it's beautiful pitches and its mentality, different from ours.

"In France, apart from Monaco and Paris-SG ... What if OM calls? Ah, if OM calls me ... It's a great club, with a great stadium and great supporters. I would have the right and duty to listen to the OM proposal, as I had done for Bordeaux.

"But it's not in the pipes today. I have to be patient, but I'm hungry for football."
