Jean Michael Seri has told Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool that they did not do enough during the last transfer window to keep him away from Fulham.
The Ivory Coast international was expected to be involved in a big-money deal over the summer after registering on the radar of leading sides across Europe.
Premier League interest in his services built steadily during a productive spell at Nice, with Barcelona also coming close to securing his signature at one stage.
It was, however, to be Fulham that put a €30 million (£27m/$35m) deal in place, with Seri revealing that the Cottagers were the only side to make him feel truly valued.
