Marseille striker Gignac reveals turning down 'Red' Premier League club

Olympique Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac claims he's turned down a Premier League move.

Prior to his £15m switch to the Stade Velodrome, Gignac has revealed he was offered the chance to join one of England's leading clubs following that sensational season with Toulouse.

"I had attractive offers. I had a very good English club in my footsteps at age 23, I had just finished top scorer in Ligue 1," Gignac revealed.

When asked if the English club was Liverpool, Gignac said: "Liverpool? Not far, this is a club that plays in red!"
