Eddie Nketiah came off the bench in Arsenal’s Champions League victory over Sevilla at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
After the tie, the Gunners striker was seen having a chat with Sevilla sporting director Víctor Orta.
Estadio Deportivo now state the discussion between the Arsenal player and Orta has ‘set off alarms’ and also led to suggestions of a possible deal.
The outlet then wastes no time in dismissing the possibility of the La Liga side trying to sign the 24-year-old in January or next summer.
During the first half of the 2019/20 season, Nketiah was on loan at Leeds United and Orta was then the sporting director at Elland Road.
With regards to their chat earlier this week, the report insists it’s ‘nothing more than a mere detail’ about the two former colleagues having a discussion.
This season, Nketiah has made 13 appearances for Arsenal, managing two goals and an assist in the process. Taking this into account, Estadio Deportivo explain that it ‘seems unthinkable’ for Orta to have talked with Nketiah about a possible move to Sevilla.
Despite the ‘alarm bells’ going off, Estadio Deportivo have put any transfer suggestion to bed immediately.
