Marseille boss Didier Deschamps has ruled out any possibility of Taye Taiwo leaving the club.
The Nigerian left-back has been linked with a move to Spurs, but any hopes of a move have been dashed.
“He is here and will be here until the end of the season,” Deschamps told La Provence.
“He is under contract for another year. We have an interest in prolonging it so that he is not free in 2011. I need him, especially as a replacement would cost me more money. I count on him.”
Have something to tell us about this article?
Is he hoping to displace Assou-Ekotto? Uninspiring rumour, we really don't need him.
ekotto is shit i would trade him for taiwo every day.
kenneth you have no idea beniot along with gareth are thr best left backs we have had in 20 years but now we have reach the CL and beniot is shit clueless.
bet you think keane is a class act
Ekotto is consistent, good technically, gets the job done, he is young, confident, good at crossing, can dribble, great defensively, strong, quick – he has everything. He epitemises our season – not much expectation, but brilliant final outcome.
