Liverpool midfielder Ovie Ejaria turned down a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Ejaria made his mark in the Reds’ first-team setup last season as he made eight competitive outings, including five starts, for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
An ankle injury prevented the 19-year-old from making further appearances but reports claim that he had the option to join PSG prior to his breakthrough year.
According to All Nigeria Soccer, Ejaria shunned an approach from the Ligue 1 giants in 2015 as he looked to establish himself within the Anfield ranks.
‘We made an approach for Ovie two years ago, flat he didn’t want to leave England,” a PSG insider is alleged to have said.
”The only issue with British players that we’ve approached is their unwillingness to leave England.
“But we are working on changing that trend with the new generation more open to move abroad than the previous.
”I remember trying to lure a young Ashley Young to France but he would hear nothing of it.”
The England under-20 international originally joined Liverpool at youth level in 2014, having spent his formative years in his native London with Arsenal.
