However, Fazio has put pen-to-paper on fresh terms with his current club, agreeing a one-year contract extension until 2014. The 21-year-old said in the Daily Mirror: "I've heard about the rumour and Arsenal, but I am concentrating on my career with Sevilla at the moment." He added: "I'm very happy with this extension, which shows the confidence that they've had in me since I arrived."
