Arsenal and Chelsea reportedly hold the strongest interest in Sevilla defender Jules Kounde.

The Frenchman has become a highly sought after asset after another fine campaign in Andalusia.

It is believed Sevilla want at least £50m to sell the 22-year-old.

But that has not deterred either Arsenal or Chelsea, according to local outlet ABC Sevilla.

The two London clubs are reportedly ahead of Premier League rivals Manchester United in the pursuit of Kounde.

Barcelona are also monitoring the situation but will struggle to meet Sevilla's hefty demands.
