With Arsenal and Sevilla set to face each other in the opening fixture of Group H in the Champions League on Wednesday night, the clubs have been linked in an off-the-field story.
The Daily Mirror suggests that Arsene Wenger is ready to make a move for Sevilla prodigy Diego Capel.
The midfielder shone in the recent Under 20 World Cup in Canada, scoring a sweet volley against Uruguay in the opening game of the tournament for Spain.
It has been well documented that Wenger has money to spend on transfers, with a potential £50million being released in the following months after a bumper financial year.
Capel, who is most comfortable in his natural position on the left of a midfield four, is thought to be valued at around £8million, and has been likened to former Arsenal man Jose Antonio Reyes, with pace, acceleration and technique the bedrock to his game.
The 19-year-old said: It’s great praise to have big clubs in Europe interested in me.”
