Cardiff City midfielder Víctor Camarasa has rejected the chance to join the club on a permanent basis in the hopes of remaining a Premier League player next season.

The 24-year-old is currently on loan in South Wales from La Liga side Real Betis, where he will be surplus to requirements following the signing of Giovani Lo Celso in Andalusia.

Camarasa has been told to find a new club this summer, but Diario de Sevillareport that the former Spain Under-21 international rejected a permanent move to Cardiff Cityduring the January transfer window due to concerns over their future in the Premier League.

It's claimed that Camarasa has been holding out for 'better proposals' from elsewhere in England, which now appear to be coming in the final few weeks of the season.

Marcaclaim Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenhamhave most recently been linked with a move for Camarasa at the end of the season, with the midfielder expected to be slapped with a €15m price tag this summer.

Evertonand West Hamare also interested, while Leicester Cityhave been keeping tabs on Camarasa as a potential arrival to aid new manager Brendan Rodgers' style of football.

Camarasa has made 28 appearances in the Premier League with Cardiff City where he's been directly involved in eight goals, almost a third of all the club's goals in the top flight this season.

The midfielder is hopeful that good performances in matches against Liverpooland Manchester Unitedin the final few weeks of the season will help increase his stock in the transfer market this summer.
