Julien Faubert has threatened to leave West Ham and return to France if Gianfranco Zola does not play him more regularly.
The Hammers’ right midfielder Faubert is very frustrated by his lack of action, as he sat on the bench during the clashes with Chelsea and Aston Villa.
The 25-year-old’s priority is to revive his international career and he understands that moving back to his homeland would boost his chances.
Faubert has hinted he could be interested in moving from London during the January transfer window, while West Ham need to raise some cash to sort their economic crisis.
Faubert told France-Football: “I must speak with the coach, Gianfranco Zola, to see what he wants from me. I must confess how disappointed I have been to remain on the bench for the game against Chelsea that was shown everywhere in Europe and especially in France.
“I should keep my cool and not act under pressure. There’s nothing concrete (with other clubs).
“Why not returning (to the French league)? I’m 25 and think about France and the 2010 World Cup every day. I tasted it and I’m missing it.
“I really want to play for Les Bleus again. And I know that you have to play and be good to make it. This could be with West Ham or elsewhere.”
