Le Mans midfield duo Koffi Romaric and Stephane Sessegnon are both being linked with big moves away from the club.

Romaric is under the gaze of Spanish giants Sevilla, whilst Sessegnon is believed to have been watched by Newcastle.

Romaric is attracting interest from a number of clubs, but now Sevilla are believed to be considering him as a possible replacement for Seydou Keita.

"I am aware of the interest of many clubs," said Romaric.

"There is Monaco, Galatasaray - but I am captain of Le Mans and they love me here but in football you never say never.

"Sevilla is a good team who have played in the Champions League, so to be linked with them is fantastic but I am happy where I'am."

Newcastle

Sessegnon admits he is flattered to be watched by a club such as Newcastle.

"I am in contact with Le Mans, I was told Newcastle United have watched me and I am flattered to be associated with a big team in England," he said.

"There are a lot of African players in the Premiership, it would be a dream but I have to work hard and one day I could be there."

Reports in France suggest that Newcastle's scouts were, as well as watching Sessegnon, checking on Yohann Pele.
