Abdennour confirms English clubs talks

Valencia defender Aymen Abdennour has confirmed talks with English clubs over the summer.

Abdennour only moved to the Mestalla last year but numerous reports linked him with a move away from the club, particularly with the signing of Eliaquim Mangala on loan and Ezequiel Garay's arrival.

"I was negotiating with English clubs but for financial reasons, the deals did not go through," he explained to Mundo Deportivo.

Valencia paid Monaco 22 million euros for Abdennour, but were reportedly willing to sell for less this summer – with Premier League duo Everton and Chelsea both linked to the Tunisian central defender.
