Andre-Pierre Gignac claims that he turned down a move to Everton this month in favour of staying with "attractive" club Marseille.

Marseille frontman Andre-Pierre Gignac has revealed that he snubbed a move to Everton, stating that the Merseyside club are not as 'big' as the French outfit.

The 26-year-old was rumoured to be moving to the Premier League this month, with the Toffees and Fulham reportedly expressing an interest in the striker.

"Everton is a top club in England but for me Marseille is bigger and more attractive," Sky Sports News quotes Gignac as saying.

"I want to play one day abroad but at a bigger club like the Manchester Uniteds of this world. I do want to make a name for myself at Marseille. I love the club."

Gignac has scored eight goals for the Ligue 1 side since joining the club in 2010.
