Sevilla confirm interest in Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen

Sevilla sporting director Monchi has confirmed that the club are interested in signing Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen this summer.

The 26-year-old, who has impressed for Wales at Euro 2016, has been linked with a move away from Anfield after failing to land a regular spot in Liverpool's first team under manager Jurgen Klopp.

The Merseyside outfit have already rejected a reported £8m offer from Allen's former club Swansea City as they are believed to be holding out for a £14m fee, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Sevilla have not yet made an official approach for the midfielder as they are also eyeing other targets, including Sao Paulo's Ganso.

"Ganso and Allen aren't the only players that fit in our plans," Monchi is quoted as saying. "They are on our list and they comply with the profile that we are searching for."

Allen, who joined Liverpool for £15m in 2012, is currently preparing for tonight's Euro 2016 semi-final against Portugal.
