Toulouse midfielder Moussa Sissoko claims Manchester City and Lyon have expressed an interest in him.[LNB] The 20-year-old is not letting himself get distracted by such talk, however, and insists he is content to focus on on-pitch matters for TFC.[LNB]"I try not to take too much interest in all this because I want to concentrate on my football," the Mali-born France Under-21 international told L'Equipe.[LNB]"Yes, it's nice to see that such clubs are interested in me. But I work with my club, and I let my uncle (Bakari Sanogo), who is my agent, deal with it.[LNB]"And if something should happen, it will. But for now, I'm in Toulouse, and I'm fine."[LNB]When pressed as to which clubs he was referring to, Sissoko replied: "It is the name of City (Manchester) who appears, and Lyon from time to time.[LNB]"But I try not to take much notice. It is the job of my agent, and mine is on the field. I want to best prepare for the best season in Toulouse, and especially on doing better than last year."[LNB]Sissoko is uncapped at senior level but is hoping he could be called up by new France coach Laurent Blanc for the friendly against Norway on August 11.[LNB]"There will be a new coach, and now everything is possible.[LNB]"If my team does well, and there are positive results, it may be beneficial for me. I will work, and I hope to be called on August 11."
