Miralem Pjanic is one of the best midfielders in the world. After making a name for himself in Lyon and Rome, he joined Juventus and further enhanced his reputation. He could, however, have joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2012 when the club sold Luka Modric to Real Madrid.

“There was the opportunity but at that moment I told them I was happy where I was and that’s why we didn’t sign the deal,” Pjanic told The Telegraph.

“But I made my choice using my head and if I made that choice not to go to an English team it was for good reasons.”
