North London rivals Tottenham and Arsenal are reported to be interested in Sevilla midfielder Diego Capel according to the people. Capel, who of course used to play under Spurs boss Juande Ramos at Sevilla, impressed during the under-20 World Cup for Spain and is said to be worth as much as £8 million.He has been likened by some as the new Jose Antonio Reyes who of course used to play for the Spanish giants. Spurs boss Juande Ramos has been linked with a whole host of his former players at Sevilla but Capel is said to be very high on his wish list for the January transfer window. Wenger is said to be a long term admirer of the player and is very keen to make a bid for him come January.
It will be very interesting to see who wins the race to sign his signature in January (presuming he leaves of course). He is only 19-years old and has a big future ahead of him and I would love to see him progress in the Premier League. Capel said: It’s great praise to have big clubs in Europe interested in me.”
