Ahead of their crucial Round of 16 tie against Tottenham, Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic cleared the air regarding his past transfer negotiations. The Bosnian playmaker revealed that he turned down two Premier League clubs who wanted his services. Speaking to The Telegraph, he said,
‘You want to know the names? They were Arsenal and Tottenham.’
‘There was the opportunity but at that moment I told them I was happy where I was and that’s why we didn’t sign the deal. But I made my choice using my head and if I made that choice not to go to an English team it was for good reasons,’ he added.
