The 22-year-old defensive midfielder, who has made seven appearances for his country, is believed to be a target of both Arsenal and Bolton, who were linked with a £12 million move for the player in the winter transfer window.

"We will speak with the club to resolve everything about his future so that he doesn't leave the club on bad terms."
