Winger plays down move talk

Seville winger Diego Capel is aware of interest from Tottenham but says he is under contract with the La Liga club.

Spurs have been strongly linked with a move for the flying winger but so far Juande Ramos has been unable to strike a deal as Seville have refused to sell.

Capel says he would consider a move if the two clubs agreed a fee but admits that he is more than happy with Seville if he has to stay on next season.

"For sure everybody wants to grow as a footballer, I'm at a great club, but you always have better objectives," Capel told Diario de Sevilla.

When quizzed about the rumours linking him with a move to Tottenham, the player added: "I know there's something but the club [Sevilla] trust me and I owe them for this confidence.

"[Tottenham manager Juande Ramos] didn't speak to me, he did with my agent I presume, yes. My representatives deal with this.

"I think Sevilla's president has all the right in the world to do this [turn down an offer]. Right now I belong to Sevilla, I'm under contract here and that needs to be respected."
