Real Betis president Pepe Leon has told midfielder Achille Emana to buck up his ideas.

The Cameroon international wants to quit Betis after being frozen out this season and is a January target for Birmingham City.

Leon rapped: "If he really wants to go, he first needs to play well for Betis so that he receives offers.

"In football, in the morning a player says one thing and in the afternoon another. He has told us he is committed."
