New Sevilla coach Eduardo Berizzo expects to keep his stars

New Sevilla coach Eduardo Berizzo expects to keep his best players.

Vitolo and Steven N'Zonzi are being linked with moves away this summer.

But Berizzo says: “I have spoken to [sporting director] Oscar Arias in terms of reinforcing positions. But I have not mentioned specific names. Sometimes what the coach says makes the sporting director's job more difficult and I don't want that. We agree on the areas that need reinforcing. I am working on the basis of building a Sevilla side around Vitolo and N'Zonzi."

On Manchester City attacker Nolito, he added: "I like Nolito a lot because I know him [from Celta]. Whether or not he will sign for us is something that I can't say, that's the job of the sporting director."
