Morocco playmaker Zemmama was this week linked to French sides Valenciennes and Lens but manager John Hughes insisted the 26-year-old was crucial to his plans at Easter Road.[LNB]And the player himself, who has 18 months remaining on his contract, believes he owes Hibs.[LNB]The club helped him in an acrimonious row with his former side Raja Casablanca and then allowed him to leave on a season-long loan to the United Arab Emirates to be with his new wife Zenib.[LNB]Hibs negotiated Home Office red tape to allow Zenib and infant son Mehdi to join Zemmama in Edinburgh and he told the Edinburgh Evening News: "I heard these reports but I don't know anything about them.[LNB]"I am happy here. I have a long contract, 18 months to run, and I am focused on Hibs, nothing else.[LNB]"This club means a lot to me. I became a professional football player here, they have helped me overcome some problems and shown great kindness to me, Zenib and Mehdi.[LNB]"I will always be grateful for that and my aim is to give them everything I have.[LNB]"I won't be knocking on the manager's door saying I want to go. I am staying."[LNB][LNB][LNB]
