Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas has revealed he was on the verge of making a move to Inter last season.
The player who is now on the fringes at White Hart Lane says he was honoured by interest from Jose Mourinho.
“I am very happy in the Premier League and I like being in London, but Italy had not come into my mind until Mourinho started talking,” said Jenas.
“The Jose Mourinho factor was there and a lot of players would love to play for him. At that particular time I am not going to say it did not interest me.
“It was something that would turn a footballer’s head because you want to play in Europe and Inter went on to win the Champions League last year.”
Nonetheless, the move did not materialize and it is little wonder Jenas is now regretting it as he could have become a part of Inter’s treble-winning team last season.
