The 30-year-old is currently playing for Turkish giants Trabzonspor.
“During my last season at Saint-Etienne, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Chelsea wanted me,” he told L’Equipe.
“I chose Tottenham because there was Damien Comolli, who knew me since I was a kid.”
Zokora joined Trabzonspor from Spanish side Sevilla this summer.
“Trabzonspor officials wanted me at any price. I am the biggest transfer of the club, so I am under big pressure,” he said.
