Thomas Delaney admits choosing Borussia Dortmund over Premier League offers

Thomas Delaney admits he turned down Premier League offers to sign with Borussia Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund signed Danish midfielder Delaney from Werder Bremen on a four-year contract, the Bundesliga sides announced on Thursday.

Delaney attracted interest from Everton and Brighton, but revealed: "I've always wanted to play in the Premier League at some stage and I've had offers too... but when Dortmund came calling, I didn't have to think twice.

"For me, BVB are one of the top 10 clubs in Europe and one of the top two clubs in Germany and the stadium is definitely the best in all of Europe."
