Sevilla play down Arsenal, Grzegorz Krychowiak talk

Sevilla have moved to play down reports linking Grzegorz Krychowiak with an £18m move to Arsenal in January.

Speculation is rife that the Gunners are keen on landing the Poland international, 24, who only joined the Spanish club from French side Reims in the summer.

It was reported last week that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger would sanction a big-money winter move for Krychowiak, but Sevilla's sporting director Monchi insists that the club have received no offers.

"We've not received any offer for him," he told Radio Marca.

"Things are going very well with Krychowiak. We're going to let him enjoy being at Sevilla because he's delighted to be here. There's nothing [to announce]."

Krychowiak, thought to be rated at around £24m, is contracted to the La Liga club until 2018.
