AC Milan midfielder Bennacer reveals why he picked Arsenal instead of Man City

The Algerian joined Arsenal in 2015, but saw limited playing time before eventually transferring to Italy.

The 26-year-old spoke about how he did have a chance to sign for City as a youth player.

Speaking to Instant Foot, Milan star Bennacer stated: "(City) called me and told me 'We want you to be with the reserves' and everything. It's City, man. I was ready. They told me 'Come see the facilities' - so I did. I got there, I don't know, I wasn't feeling it."

"Their facilities were crazy. Amazing. I spoke with Vieira and everything," he said. 

"I liked the talk we had, but the fact they wanted me at the academy to sleep there... I wanted a flat. I wanted my sister to come with me. That's why I dropped City. Then there was Arsenal towards the end of July."
