French left-back Salif Sane has revealed that he rejected a move to the Premier League before signing for Bundesliga outfit Hannover.

The 22-year-old, who was linked with Fulham and Swansea City before leaving Nancy, inked a four-year deal at the AWD-Arena last month.

"I am delighted to put pen on paper with Hannover," Sky Sports News quotes Sane as saying. "They showed me they are interested in me and I am very happy to sign for four years here.

"There were teams in the Premier League interested in me but they were not willing to move as fast as them, so for me it was easy to make the choice to come to Germany."

Despite being born in France, Sane has announced his intention to play international football for Senegal.
