Steven N'Zonzi 'tells Sevilla he wants to leave'

French midfielder Steven N'Zonzi has reportedly informed Sevilla that he wants to leave the Estadio Ramon in this summer's transfer window.

N'Zonzi, who scored once and provided two assists in 44 appearances for Sevilla in all competitions last term, has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League over the last month.

Arsenal are said to be in the hunt for the 29-year-old, while Everton have also been credited with an interest.

According to Mundo Deportivo, N'Zonzi has told Sevilla that he wants a move away from the Spanish club this summer, which is expected to spark a scramble for his services.

The former Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City midfielder, who is currently with the France squad at the 2018 World Cup, is believed to have a release clause in the region of £35m.

Last month, N'Zonzi hinted that he wanted to move to a 'bigger club' this summer.
