JULIO BATISTA

Spurs have bid a reported £14m for the 23-year-old Brazilian, while Arsenal have had a £13.75m offer rejected.

But Ramos is growing increasingly optimistic that Baptista will stay put.

"The club want him to stay, he apparently wants to stay and unless a big offer comes along, the signs are that he will stay," said Ramos.

"Baptista is a pivotal player for Sevilla. We all want him to stay but we are aware of the situation he is in, so we will have to wait and see."

Spanish champions Barcelona are also among the clubs reportedly interested in signing Baptista.
