Paris Saint-Germain winger Jese Rodriguez has revealed why he turned down a potential January move to Middlesbrough in favour of a loan to LaLiga side Las Palmas.
The former Real Madrid man had fallen out of favour in the French capital and was available once the window opened.
At one point towards the end of the winter window, it appeared the 23-year-old Spanish star was close to joining the Premier League side, with manager Aitor Karanka a big fan of the talented forward.
However, he ultimately decided against a move to England and instead joined hometown club Las Palmas on the island of Gran Canaria.
