REVEALED: PSG chose to back Zaire-Emery over signing Bellingham

PSG passed on signing Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham last year.

Le Parisien says one of the player's agents, as he was leaving Borussia Dortmund, approached PSG in an attempt to land an agreement.

However, the French giants chose to decline, as they instead wanted to back 17-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery, who plays in the same position.

The youngster has also had his big breakthrough since then, where, among other things, he has started the first five Ligue 1 matches of the season.

Bellingham has five goals in his first five appearances for Real Madrid.
