Newcastle United are determined to keep hold of Florian Lejeune.

Newcastle are not interested in selling Lejeune to Sevilla, says El Desmarque.

The La Liga side have been monitoring the Frenchman's progress with United, but Rafa Benitez is not looking to sell the central defender he signed from Eibar just 12 months ago.

Sevilla, however, remain keen on Toon midfielder Mikel Merino.
