A. Zakharyanas explained why he rejected the offer from "Chelsea © AFP

San Sebastiano "Real Sociedad" club attacking midfielder Arsen Zakharyanas told the publication "Mundo Deportivo" why he chose the Spanish team instead of London's "Chelsea."

"It's true, I had an offer from the 'aristocrats' team, but I decided to join 'Real Sociedad'.

I wanted to move to the 'La Liga' championship, to Spain, and that's why I came here. Also, the playing style of the Basque club suits me, because we like to control the ball."

Currently, San Sebastiano's "Real Sociedad" is in 6th position in the Spanish championship and is only three points ahead of the "Valencia" team.
