According to reports in the Spanish media, La Liga side Sevilla are considering a bid for Estonian number one Karl Jakob Hein, to strengthen their goalkeeping options. Hein, who spent last season on loan in La Liga with Real Valladolid, is still on the books of English Premier League side Arsenal.

Last season, Hein, who has proved a consistent performer for the Estonian national team, was on loan at Real Valladolid in the Spanish top flight. Despite Valladolid finishing bottom of the table and suffering relegation, Hein won plenty of admirers in Spain.

Among them, are 7-time UEFA Europa League winners Sevilla, who are looking to bolster their goalkeeping department ahead of the 2025/26 season.
