Stoke City forward Choupo-Moting reportedly snubbed the chance to join Premier League Huddersfield Town and the Ligue 1 champions are now calling.
Ramadan Sobhi swapped Stoke City for Huddersfield Town this summer but Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting had no interest in following his former Potters team-mate to the John Smith’s Stadium.
According to The Mail (9 August, 10.55am), the Cameroon international rejected a move to Huddersfield as he felt he could land himself a bigger move before the end of August.
And maybe he was right, because just three weeks after snubbing David Wagner’s relegation candidates, The Sun reports that Choupo-Moting could be heading to one of the real powerhouses of European football.
It is claimed that Paris Saint Germain are set to sign the 29-year-old in a stunning £15 million deal from Stoke, who were relegated from the Premier League last season.
The £60,000-a-week Choupo-Moting netted just five goals in England’s top flight after arriving on a free from Schalke, but PSG coach Thomas Tuchel knows the versatile forward from his time in the Bundesliga with Mainz and Dortmund and obviously feels he can offer something to a team chasing Champions League success.
So, with all due respect to Huddersfield, you can see now why Choupo-Moting rejected a move to Yorkshire. Paris is calling.
