Juventus superstar Paul Pogba has revealed that he had many offers from Chelsea, AC Milan and Arsenal before the Italian champions snatched him from every teams grasp.

The 20-year-old French phenomenon was picked up from Manchester United on a free transfer and he has adapted very well in the starting eleven of the Bianconeri team. At the moment he is being named in the starting eleven as the injured Claudio Marchisio rests on the bench.

“Since childhood I’ve always liked Juve and supported that team,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

“For the French this club means a great deal, as so many French champions played in Turin, so that’s why I liked them.

“Sir Alex Ferguson tried to keep me at Manchester United, but he didn’t get very far. Were other clubs tracking me? Yes, but I only had Juve in my mind. At the time I heard from Chelsea, Arsenal and Milan, but nobody is like Juve.

“I am happy to be here and I want to win many trophies with this jersey.”
