A video appears to show N'Zonzi walking through the airport on Tuesday night, with a snap posted of a man holding a sign with the player's name.
And it sparked speculation that the Frenchman could be jetting in to seal a return to the Premier League.
N'Zonzi, who turned 29 last Friday, allegedly fell out with Sevilla boss Eduardo Berizzo following the 3-3 draw with Liverpool.
He was furious at his half-time substitution - with the Spanish side going on to claw back a three-goal deficit.
Reports in Spain have since claimed that Arsenal have agreed a £35million fee to sign him in January.
Everton have also been linked, with Sam Allardyce having brought him to Blackburn in 2009.

N'Zonzi recently told France Football: “My future is somewhere else. We just have to wait until December is over and everything will be done.
“I hope Sevilla qualify in the Champions League and have good luck in the future, but I will not be part of that adventure.
“What hurts is the way everything is going to end. It hurts, of course, but for now the team is functioning.
"There’s only a short time left, just December to pass, and it’s better that my time at Sevilla stops then.”
