Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has insisted that midfielder Steven N'Zonzi will remain at the club beyond the summer, despite the player's previous intentions to leave.
The Frenchman handed in a transfer request in May, which was swiftly rejected by the Potters.
Despite N'Zonzi's initial stance, Hughes has revealed that the 24-year-old is happy to stay at the club for the 2013-14 campaign.
"He's fine now and he isn't going anywhere," The Express quotes Hughes as saying.
N'Zonzi moved to the Britannia from Blackburn Rovers last year.
