New Everton defender Ramiro Funes Mori has revealed he nearly signed for Chelsea before moving to Goodison Park this summer.
The Argentinian left River Plate for the Toffees earlier this month, however, but for work-permit issues the 24-year-old could now be playing for the Premier League champions instead.
"It can be said that it's my second spell at England," he is quoted as saying in the Daily Express.
"I had a trial for Chelsea a few years ago alongside with my twin brother. We stayed at Chelsea for two weeks, but had to leave because we didn't have an European passport.
"Well, I still don't have a European passport but Everton truly wanted me. So now I hope to be ready and get used to playing in the Premier League as soon as possible."
