Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen believes he made the right decision when he rejected a chance to join Manchester City back in 2012.
The Danish international could have left Ajax to join Roberto Mancini at the Etihad Stadium, but he told the Dutch club that he wanted to remain at the club, turning down a mega-money move.
However just a year later, he eventually left Ajax and joined Andre Villas-Boas at Tottenham.
The 21-year-old has been very impressive so far for Spurs and he believes he made the right call by rejecting City.
Eriksen said: “It took me a while to get to England because I said no a few times. Last summer, City really wanted to sign me, but it didn’t feel right.
“Maybe I wouldn’t have played there – I wouldn’t go to a club just to stay on the subs’ bench. I didn’t feel ready for a league like the Premier League, and now it looks like I moved at the right time.
“A lot of players moved from Ajax in the last year and it gave me responsibility and made me grow. It made me better. It was exciting there, but you have to wait for the right club to come along.
“I read about the history of Spurs and have seen games over the years. I know a bit about the club, they like a bit of creativity.”
