Sevilla coach Berizzo hints no way back for Arsenal, Everton target N'Zonzi

Sevilla coach Eduardo Berizzo has hinted he'd be happy to see Steven N'Zonzi sold.

The French midfielder is eager to return to England, where Arsenal and Everton have both been mentioned as potential destinations.

Berizzo admits he finds N'Zonzi a disruptive influence.

He explained: "My way of thinking about the game is collective, sometimes he did not understand it. I believe in a collective game philosophy, the authority of the coach is that of the coach. If this is questioned or discussed, I must impose myself. I always think of the best for the club.

"N'Zonzi is a very great player, but I think first of all about the collective, with the whole group concerned. I prefer to think about the health of my locker room and to give a more ambiguous answer than to open the doors of my locker room."
