Can Alan Pardew lead Southampton back to the Championship? Tom Powell previews the betting.

Brazil international striker Luis Fabiano insists he will remain at Sevilla this season.

The 29-year-old has been linked with moves to England and Italy and as he is entering the final year on his Sevilla deal, it had been thought the club may opt to sell him this summer rather see him leave for nothing in 12 months time.

Fabiano has confirmed he has received offers, but has never thought seriously about quitting.

“My future is with Sevilla,” he told As. “I have never thought about leaving this year.

“I have had some offers, but I never considered leaving Sevilla.

“What came out in the press during the World Cup did not come out of my mouth,” he added, in reference to quotes attributed to the player which claimed he wanted a move.

Fabiano is not ruling out the possibility of signing a new deal and insists all the previous talk of a move to Milan is now forgotten.

“We have spoken, but at the moment we are thinking about the games ahead,” he said on talks with Sevilla.

“As I have a good relationship with the club, I’m not worried. With calm, I will renew with Sevilla.

“I have forgotten about Milan. From my point of view, they didn’t come in seriously for me.

“They promised a lot of things, but they didn’t fulfil those promises. It’s a great club, but that’s in the past.”
