Sergio Ramos 'turned down a surprise offer from Arsenal' before joining PSG

Paris Saint-Germain's newest big-name signing Sergio Ramos turned down an offer from Arsenal this summer, according to reports.

Ramos departed Real Madrid after his contract was allowed to run down, and a host of elite clubs from across Europe unsurprisingly tried to snap up the free agent.

Among them were Arsenal, but Ramos ultimately snubbed them - as claimed by Goal - to head to France instead.
