Sevilla midfielder keen to push through Arsenal move

Sevilla midfielder Steven N'Zonzi has reportedly handed in a transfer request as he seeks to push through a move to Arsenal this summer.

The France international has been closely linked with a reunion with manager Unai Emery in recent weeks and he has now revealed his ambition to part ways with the Andalusian club.

According to The Mail, N'Zonzi is keen to make his switch to London with his young family this summer with the Gunners said to hold a strong interest in his services.

Sevilla have previously stated that they won't accept anything less than his £35m buy-out clause but it is now claimed that they may accept a cut-price fee of around £22m.

N'Zonzi is presently with the France national side at the summer World Cup where he has earned a solitary start versus Denmark. He has earned six caps with Didier Deschamps' side to date.
