Jules Kounde hints at Sevilla exit amid Manchester United, Arsenal links

Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde has admitted that he may have to change clubs this summer if he wants to win major trophies.

The France Under-21s international is coming off the back of another solid season for the La Liga side and has been linked with a number of teams.

Manchester United are rumoured to be weighing up an offer for Kounde, while fellow Premier League side Arsenal have also been tipped to make a move.

Amid the growing interest in his signature, the 22-year-old is unsure where he will be playing his football next season.

"I may have to change clubs this summer. I have not decided anything," he told reporters. "My goal is, one day, to evolve into a great club to always try to progress, win trophies.

"To be able to start the season each year by telling yourself that the goal is win a particular trophy. I might have to move, but that's not relevant today."

Kounde appeared 46 times for Sevilla in the 2020-21 campaign, helping the club to finish fourth in La Liga and reach the last 16 of the Champions League.

The young defender has been included in France's squad for the upcoming Euro 2020 tournament, despite having never played for the senior side.
