Sevilla star refuses to be drawn on Arsenal transfer speculations

The Gunners are said to be in the market for another midfielder with the manager seeking creativity in the middle of the park from his team.

Sevilla’s Joan Jordan insists he feels “super comfortable” to be in a “super ambitious club” amid talks of interest from Arsenal.

Adding playmaking talent to the squad is reportedly a priority for Arsenal in the January transfer market, and Jordan, along with Real Madrid’s Isco, is said to be on their wishlist.

The Spanish midfielder has a £55 million release clause on his contract but it has been suggested that a financially-weakened Sevilla would be willing to let go of him for much less – a fee in the region of £32 million.

“In the end, these are just things that come out, like the many things that were said, the rumors, when I was at Eibar,” Jordan told Estadio Deportivo about the transfer talks ahead of Saturday’s derby clash with Real Betis, via Football London.

“I have always been very clear about the present… the future does not feed me, it takes away from me and does not give me the energy I need.

“I am at a super ambitious club, and I have nothing more to say because I really am super comfortable here, like I was when I arrived here.

“Things can come out, but I tell you my mind today and the people that know me can back me up, it’s not that I’m avoiding the question just that really, my mind is on the derby.”
