SPURS TALK: Tottenham target rules out Sevilla exit

9:36am Tuesday 8th July 2008

TOTTENHAM target Diego Capel has declared his intention to stay in Spain with Sevilla.

Juande Ramos had hoped to lure his former protege to White Hart Lane in a big money deal.

However, the talented 20-year-old claims he would not be interested in a potential move.

Spurs had an offer knocked back by the Spanish side last week, and this revelation from Capel leaves the deal dead in the water.

The tricky left-winger told the Sevilla website: "Now I'm a Sevilla player and what I want to do is enjoy that.

"I hope to be here for a long time, certainly, because I won't listen to offers from other sides."

The Andalucian club will be delighted with the news as they have already lost two of their star attractions - Dani Alves and Seydou Keita - to La Liga rivals Barcelona.
