Arsenal target Guido Rodriguez plays down £68m move to the Emirates by insisting he is 'very happy' at Real Betis and is content on staying in Seville despite being 'closely monitored' by Mikel Arteta

Real Betis star Guido Rodriguez has played down reported interest from Arsenal by claiming that he is 'very happy' in Seville.

Mundo Deportivo claimed earlier this week that the defensive midfielder is a summer transfer target for Mikel Arteta, who has been 'closely monitoring' the Argentinian after impressing with Betis.

The Spanish news outlet suggested that Betis would be prepared to sell Rodriguez, who has a £68million release clause, for the right price due to the financial uncertainty of the ongoing pandemic.
