Seri had attracted interest from top clubs across Europe following his barnstorming three-year spell in Ligue 1 with Nice and the football World was in shock when he decided to join Fulham.
Barcelona were thought to have made him their prime target in the summer of 2017 but they opted to sign Paulinho but in the immediate past summer, they were believed to be weighing in on a deal for him.
Chelsea were equally heavily linked with a move for the star but they have signed on Jorginho and Mateo Kavacic in his stead. Seri has spoken to The Times and he’s revealed he only wanted to join Fulham.
‘When I played for Pacos de Ferreira in Portugal, Nice came for me and they really came. Fulham wanted me the same way.
‘They said, “We want you, come to Fulham”. Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, they saw me but they didn’t say, “We want you”.
‘Because Fulham gave me this respect, although other clubs wanted me, I wanted to sign for Fulham.’
‘My president calls me, he says, “Fulham want you, do you want to go?”
‘I say, “If they want me, they respect me”. The big clubs want me but Fulham showed they wanted me.’
Fulham thumped Burnley last week in a 4-2 thriller and Seri was on the scoresheet with a stunning goal. He has been a beast for Fulham in the middle of the pack this term and he has been tipped to succeed at the side.
