Juanfran: 'I turned down Arsenal'

Atletico Madrid defender Juanfran claims that he turned down the chance to sign for Arsenal in the summer.

Atletico Madrid defender Juanfran has revealed that he turned down the chance to sign for Arsenal this summer.

The 27-year-old, who joined the Spanish capital outfit from Osasuna in 2011, is widely regarded as one of the best right-backs in European football.

"It is true that I had an offer from Arsenal that any player would have liked to have accepted," he told Marca.

"But I am very happy here. For me, as everyone knows, there is no better club than Atletico."

Juanfran has four years remaining on his current deal.
