Olympique Lyon defender Joachim Andersen has explained turning down Arsenal.

The Swede moved to France this summer from Sampdoria.

Speaking to Foot Mercato, Andersen admitted that although Arsenal were an interesting proposition, Lyon in the end made the most tempting offer.

"There were good clubs, but Lyon was the best choice for me," he said.

"I wanted to develop as a player, play the Champions League, be in a top team that fights for the title and Lyon was the best solution."
