Sky Sports: Etxeberria staying silent

Reported Premier League target Benat Etxeberria says he is leaving his future in the hands of his agents amid speculation linking him with a move away from Real Betis.

Manchester City and Liverpool are both thought to be monitoring the 25-year-old playmaker, while Bundesliga side Wolfsburg reportedly saw an offer for his signature refused in the summer.

Fresh rumours he could move away from Betis have surfaced ahead of next month's transfer window despite the Spain international having 18 months remaining on his contract.

Etxeberria, thought to have a €20million (£16m) buy-out clause in his deal, is refusing to get involved in the talk surrounding his future.

"Will I leave in January? All I know is that there is going to be talk of offers in the winter window just as there was last summer," he told AS.

"My agents are in charge of everything and I am going to turn off my mobile phone until January 31st."
