Flynn Downes admits he wanted to stay at Swansea City prior to learning he was close to a move away from the club.
The midfielder joined West Ham United for an initial £9m in July as part of a deal that could be worth up to £14m with add-ons. It comes after an impressive 2021/22 season in which Downes excelled under Russell Martin following his switch from Ipswich Town.
And the Englishman has revealed he had no intention of leaving the Swans this summer having fallen in love with the club and his surroundings.
