Malmo defender Hugo Larsson: Why I turned down Bournemouth

Malmo defender Hugo Larsson has explained turning down Bournemouth in January.

The Cherries had an offer accepted by MFF, but Larsson rejected the move.

He explained to SportExpressen: "It is probably MFF that has set a price tag and then clubs that are interested can take a position on it. It didn't feel quite right. And I think that another six months in Malmö, or a year if it turns out like that, can help me a lot more.

"Going from the Allsvenskan to the Premier League can be a very big step.

"Then I looked at their matches, the project they presented to me, it didn't feel quite right, simply."
