Ronald Zubar claims Premier League interest

Ajaccio defender Ronald Zubar claims that he turned down offers from Wigan Athletic and Southampton in January.

Former Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Ronald Zubar has claimed that he turned down offers from two Premier League clubs in January.

Zubar ended a three-and-a-half year stay at Molineux by signing for Ajaccio in Ligue 1 two months ago.

The 27-year-old claims that he rejected interest from Southampton and Wigan Athletic in order to play in his preferred position of centre-back for Ajaccio.

He told L'Equipe: "I broke my contract with Wolves, where I had five months left, and signed for Ajaccio until the end of the season.

"The idea was a new challenge. Above all, I wanted to find my right position again as a central defender.

"In England, I was always played as a right full-back. This winter I had opportunities at Wigan or Southampton, but not as a central defender."

Zubar made more than 60 league appearances for Wolves but was rarely used during the first half of this season by former boss Stale Solbakken.
