Super Eagles forward Henry Onyekuru has revealed that he successfully completed a doctor at Paris Saint-Germain before opting to join Everton in June 2017.
PSG, who had seen out of the competition of English and German clubs, thought that Onyekuru was about to sign for them after he completed the medical examination in Paris.
But the 21-year-old forward, who scored 22 goals for Belgian first-class club Eupen in the 2016/2017 season, canceled the deal at the 11th hour.
"I made a doctor for Paris St-Germain on a Friday and we had to wait until Monday so they could make both signatures [me and another player] official.
"Then I talked to my friends because I have some good friends, and I asked them if it was a good idea to play in Paris and they gave me their opinions."
"I also talked to my mother and she said she just wants me to play because I'm young and I still need to improve, and that's where the right club will come from."
"So I decided to follow my mother's advice, so I just cut the deal, just like that, I told my agent to call PSG that we're not going to go ahead with that," Onyekuru told BBC Sport.
