Aly Cissokho commits to Lyon

Lyon defender Aly Cissokho says he intends to remain with the French side despite being linked with a possible move away during the summer.

The 23-year-old left-back, who is reportedly a target for AC Milan and Real Madrid, insists he is at the best club in France, and has no desire to leave.

Lyon, who were eliminated from the last-16 stage of the Champions League and are eight points off first-place Lille in Ligue 1, will be boosted by Cissohko's declaration ahead of tomorrow's match against Lens.

"I am doing very well here at Lyon," he told the club's website. "I am honoured to be playing in the best French squad and I thank president Jean-Michel Aulas and Bernard Lacome for having the faith in me.

"I only arrived last season and have settled in well in the city and the club. I won't be moving away from Lyon."
