Aston Villa midfielder Jordan Veretout has revealed he snubbed Premier League offers this summer as he couldn't face being relegated again.
The Frenchman left Villa Park on loan during the most recent transfer window and he is now spending the season in Ligue 1 with Saint-Etienne.
However, the 23-year-old has explained that he could have continued his career in the Premier League instead of France.
Veretout claims clubs in England's top flight where after him too this summer, but after a miserable campaign he decided it was best to go back home.
