Steven N'Zonzi is close to sealing a move to Sevilla, with Stoke City manager Mark Hughes accepting the Frenchman will go.
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has accepted that key midfielder Steven N'Zonzi's future lies elsewhere as Sevilla closes in on the Frenchman's signature.
N'Zonzi has requested a move away from Stoke in each of the past two offseasons, though Hughes has been able to convince him to stay on with the upwardly mobile Britannia Stadium outfit.
The former Blackburn Rovers man was named Stoke's player of the year last term as Hughes guided the club to a record Premier League points tally for a second successive season.
