PSV star confirms: I rejected Fiorentina and TottenhamPeruvian striker Jefferson Farfan says he rejected offers from Fiorentina and Tottenham before deciding to join Schalke in Germany.
Farfan told Peru: "I accepted the offer because I wanted to play in a more competitive league.
"I had offers from other clubs. There was an offer from Tottenham in England, another from Fiorentina in Italy and one more from a Russian club."
He added: "What I decided with PSV was to look for a competitive team and obviously in a league which was a level above Dutch football, and for sporting reasons we accepted the offer from Schalke 04.
"I want to begin a new era in my life. With PSV I won four championships, I was the club's top-scorer, I always had the support of my team-mates and the fans.
"It went well for me in Holland and I think that it was about time to leave and look for new horizons."
