Sevilla's Yevhen Konoplyanka says he made his choice to move to Spain because it is more technical than the Premier League.
Konoplyanka, 26, had offers from Liverpool, Tottenham and West Ham but the 5-foot-7 winger was not ready to ply his trade in a physical league.
The Ukraine international has scored three goals in his first seven appearances at Sevilla, despite a slow start to the season for the club, but admits he made the right choice.
"If I was two-and-a-half metres tall and didn't know how to control a ball then I may have gone to England, but here [in Spain], the football's more technical. It's the best," he said in an interview on his YouTube account.
"I don't regret coming to Spain. I didn't receive many offers.
"Some came from the Premier League and Sevilla and Atletico from Spain, but I kept thinking that Sevilla were right for me.
"I was very anxious when making my choice, to the point that I got nervous and lost three kilos beforehand. I loved Sevilla's insistence on signing me, so I think I made the right decision."
