Steven N’Zonzi, arguably one of the most underrated players in Sevilla’s squad at the moment, continues to be linked with a move back to the Premier League. While he was heavily rumoured to be on his way to Juventus last summer,

English sides including Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United continue to monitor his performances, but the French midfielder does not want to think too far ahead: “I don’t know what will happen in the future. I’m fine in Seville just now, I feel good. I have adapted to the team’s style of play, it’s my third season here and I’m happy.”

However, the 28-year-old made no secret of his love for English football: “Who knows what will happen? I’m not going to talk about contracts. I love the Premier League, as that’s where I started to play at a high level and I had a great time there.”

For now, all that matters to him is that he continues to play a crucial role in Eduardo Berizzo’s side, where he has found a deep-lying midfield role at the base of the Argentine coach’s preferred 4-3-3 system. Time will tell us whether a move back to England really is on the horizon for N’Zonzi.
