The midfielder almost moved to England this summer but opted for a move to Austria from Werder Bremen instead

Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Zlatko Junuzovic has lifted the lid on his failed summer move to Brighton.

However, despite calling the competition "the best league in the world", Junuzovic says he did not want to unsettle his family, instead returning to his native Austria from Werder Bremen.
