Dieumerci Mbokani Reveals Why He Chose To Move To Monaco Over Liverpool

Monaco striker Dieumerci Mbokani has revealed he had given his word to join the French side rather than make a move to the English Premier League and play for Liverpool.

The 24-year-old Congolese forward claims he was made an attractive offer, but was not prepared to go back on his promise.

"Liverpool gave me a good offer but I had already given the 'OK' to Monaco and I could not turn back on them," Mbokani told talkSPORT.

Mbokani moved from Belgian side Standard Liege over the summer for an undisclosed fee, but the figure was reportedly around the €7 million mark.

A host of English teams including Fulham and Birmingham City were also keeping an eye on the striker prior to his move to the Ligue 1 side.
