Real Betis are chasing Hamburg midfielder Alen Halilovic.

AS says Betis have set their hearts on landing Halilovic on a six-month loan during the January window but they will have a task on their hands to coax the Hamburg player to agree to a move to Heliópolis.

Betis have sent several officials to Germany to try to convince the 20-year-old that the best place for him to grow as a player is at the Villamarín.

Betis insist he will be given the minutes he has been denied in the Bundesliga.
