Stoke midfielder Steven N'Zonzi is refusing to discuss his long term future with the Potters as speculation mounts how long his tenure in the Midlands may last. He is, however, tied to a contract at the Britannia Stadium and his current club are reluctant to sell.
The 25-year-old Frenchman told The Sentinel when pressed on what his future holds: "You never know in football, so I cannot answer that.
"I am happy here, let's focus on this season, that is the most important thing.
"Everybody is talking about what will happen next season, but as a player you do not know. You just focus on this season."
N'Zonzi insists that he is happy to be part of a squad that has embraced a more eye-catching brand of football under the guidance of boss Mark Hughes.
He added: "I was happy last season, even if it was a different type of play, but this season it is true, I enjoy it better.
"I like it better because it is what I was used to when I was a boy, and that is what we are trying to do with Mark Hughes.
"It takes time to do it better than we did it before, but in the last two games we did it.
"Everybody in the team feels good and I hope it will keep the same until the end of the season."
