Striker Freddie Kanoute has pledged his future to Sevilla despite revealing that several clubs in England are keen to take him back to the Premier League.

The 31-year-old Malian has been one of the most lethal marksmen in Spain following his arrival from Tottenham Hotspur in summer 2005.

Kanoute has 15 months remaining on his existing deal and, despite interest from England, is hoping to sign a new deal at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

"My agent keeps getting calls from English clubs but I have a contract with Sevilla," he said.

"In England I still have a good reputation which is a good sign and means that people remember the work that I did there.

"I know I will soon begin negotiations to extend my contract but I need to speak to the club's president and sports director to see the club's plans and mine.

"I don't know how many years I have left but I am fine physically and hope to continue for many more years."
