The Frenchman is finding his best form again after a serious knee injury.
Aston Villa defender Jordan Amavi has distanced himself from reports linking him to Marseille this week.
The left-back has been in good form for the Championship side recently and that seemingly caught the attention of Marseille boss Rudi Garcia.

But Amavi has been speaking to SoFoot in his homeland this week and he made it clear that for now he was focused only on Aston Villa:
“For now, I’m at Aston Villa, they rely on me.
“I will do my best to make up. Later, we will see later. I do not think I’ll go to Marseille, I’m at Aston Villa and I do not think about leaving.”
Amavi impressed last season before suffering a serious knee injury in November which ruled him out for the rest of the season.

After Villa’s relegation he found his name linked with plenty of clubs. However, he stuck around and insists he is currently happy at Aston Villa:
“Personally, I feel well at Aston Villa, the atmosphere in the group is good, the facilities are beautiful, the city is beautiful too. Despite the fact that we’re in D2, I am at Aston Villa.
“The summer transfer window, I told my agent I wanted to stay, and leaders have asked my opinion too. If clubs were positioned, I do not know if Villa would have let me go, but I had decided to stay.
“Today, I play, I try to get back to my best.”

Amavi was struggling to find his best form since his return from injury but in recent weeks the Frenchman has been showing the sort of form that saw him linked with a senior call-up to the French national team prior to his serious knee injury.
But his form has been brilliant recently and if he can keep up that form he might just help Aston Villa back to the Premier League.
