Bafetimbi Gomis says that he plans to stay at Lyon until the end of the season and does not want to leave in the January transfer window.

Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis has revealed that he will remain at the club for the rest of the season.

The French international was linked with a move away from the Stade de Gerland throughout the summer, but failed to secure a move to either Newcastle United or Marseille due to his wage demands.

However, Gomis now finds himself back in the first-team for Les Gones and says that he is not seeking an exit during the January transfer window.

"The chairman doesn't do only bad things towards me," Gomis told L'Equipe. "He wanted to defend his interest and I defended mine.

"Now the transfer market is over and we have to work hand in hand again. I bear no grudge against him. I won't forget but I am just here to work.

"If I made a decision to stay, that means I respect the hierarchy. I will remain at Lyon until next summer."

Gomis was part of the Lyon side that drew 0-0 with Rennes at the weekend.
