Jose Castro

Sevilla’s new coach, Vincenzo Montella, believes that Steven N’Zonzi is an important player for the La Liga side, which could be a blow for Arsenal in their alleged pursuit of the defensive midfielder.

Arsenal have been boosted by the news that Sevilla will allow Steven N’Zonzi to leave, so long as someone pays his release clause.

Sevilla president Jose Castro has said that no offer has been made for Steven N’Zonzi, amid rumours that Arsenal had approached the Frenchman.
