Mercado linked with Premier League move

With each passing day, Gabriel Mercado is looking more and more likely to leave Sevilla. The defender's relationship with the club has soured and he didn't travel with the squad as they played a friendly in Tanzania last month.

Mercado publicly expressed his annoyance with doubts over his commitment to the club, which has contributed further to his likely departure.

Although he has been linked with a move to Villarreal, it seems today that his destination is more likely to be the Premier League, as the Argentinian defender has received various offers from teams in England's top flight.

In fact, 'AS' reports that the player is currently with his agent in London as he weighs up his options, although the Premier League teams interested are not currently known.
