Arsenal forward Alexandre Lacazette has revealed that he rejected a move to French Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint Germain in favour of joining the Gunners, according to a report on the Independent.
The Frenchman, who became Arsenal’s record signing after joining from Olympique Lyonnais for a fee of £46.5m, was given the offer of lining up alongside Brazilian star Neymar and fellow French wonderkid Kylian Mbappe.
The 26-year-old was contacted by PSG and even held talks with the club, but eventually snubbed them in favour of joining Premier League side Arsenal.
The striker missed out on the opportunity to play UEFA Champions League football, but insists that he has no regrets over the decision that he made.
PSG could have helped me progress because of the big players they have but I wanted to play in another league.
Arsenal were after Lacazette for some time and some questioned whether the Gunners signed the striker past his best years, but he is proving the doubters wrong.
Lacazette has adapted to the new style of play well and has adjusted his game superbly, which has helped him to get his name on the scoresheet four times in seven league appearances for the North London club.
