Cabaye joined from Newcastle in 2013 but he has failed to settle in at PSG, where Italians Marco Verratti and Thiago Motta or fellow Frenchman Blaise Matuidi is often preferred over him.

Cabaye is now looking to return to the Premier League.

"If there is an opportunity to go back to England, I hope everyone will be smart enough to do things well. But there could be other destinations," he said.

Cabaye features in the France squad, who were beaten by Belgium 4-3 at the Stade de France in a friendly last Sunday, and travel to Albania on Saturday.
