It's rare that an English player comes to France and says he wants to continue," he told RMC.“A discussion was held today. I do not make money. You must be reasonable. We'll see when we will do the main choices.”Lille are the in-form team in Ligue 1 at the moment, notching five wins from their last six games as they push for Champions League football next year.The club currently sit third in the league, five points off big-spenders Paris Saint-Germain and a place in Europe’s premier club competition.The two clubs come face-to-face this weekend in a potentially pivotal clash and Seydoux admits the team’s position in the league may have an effect on the outcome of Cole’s future.He continued: “The final ranking will be important in the transfer window."
