Ivan Rakitic "honoured" by Premier League interest

Ivan Rakitic's brother and agent says that the Sevilla midfielder is "honoured" by reported interest from Chelsea and Manchester United.

Sevilla midfielder Ivan Rakitic has welcomed interest from Manchester United and Chelsea, according to his agent.

The Croatian international, who joined the Spanish side from Schalke 04 in 2011, has been in fine form this season, netting seven goals in 14 games.

His form has reportedly captured the attention of Premier League suitors with just over a year left to run on his contract in Andalusia.

However, his agent and brother Dejan has said that there are still too many variables to determine before a potential move becomes a reality.

"It's too early to say something concrete," he told TMW. "My brother still has a year and a half left on his contract.

"Chelsea, Manchester United and Lazio are interested in him? It's nice that clubs at this level are thinking [about him]. We are honoured."

Rakitic - reportedly valued at around £15m - has won 59 caps for Croatia.
