Hull centre-half Steven Mouyokolo insists he will not allow the pain of relegation to rush him into any decision over his future.[LNB] A fine run of form to end the campaign saw the 23-year-old emerge as one of the Tigers' most saleable assets.[LNB]Stoke are one side reported to be tracking his movements, but Mouyokolo insists his only thoughts are returning to his family and friends for the summer.[LNB]Asked if he would be happy to remain at the KC in light of relegation, he told the Hull Daily Mail: "I am still disappointed with relegation and all I am thinking about is spending time with my family.[LNB]"This is the first time I have stayed away from my country and all that I want is to rest with my family and friends back in France.[LNB]"Life is life and this is disappointing. But you can't choose what happens to you.[LNB]"Let's wait and see what happens, if you stay or if you go, but my mind is not thinking about this now."[LNB]Mouyokolo, who joined in a £2m deal from Boulogne last summer, emerged as a firm fans' favourite at the KC Stadium after a string of eye-catching displays during the second half of the season.[LNB]"It has been amazing. When all the crowd is chanting your name, it has made me cry at times," he added.[LNB]"I would like to say a big thank you to all the fans for the support they have given me all season.[LNB]"It hasn't been easy to be out of the team for five months but they helped me through it and all that I wanted to do when I got on the pitch was to give my best back to them.[LNB]"When I hear the fans sing my song I just smile and it gives me more power. When I hear it I know I cannot disappoint them.[LNB]"I wish my family could be in the stadium to hear it, it's amazing. I have been very emotional.[LNB]"I play with passion so when I lose I am like a kid who has lost on a video game. But the support has been very special."
