Didier Ndong has no regrets over his move to Sunderland.

Sunderland were the first Premier League club to make a move for Ndong.

He wants to repay that belief in him and is adamant there is no added weight on his shoulders because of the size of the fee involved.

“I don't think the money is an issue. I don't think it adds pressure," Ndong told the Sunderland Echo. “It was there, and Sunderland obviously had to pay a price for the transfer, but the most important thing is that I am here now, playing, and enjoying what I do.

“I am loving being in the Premier League.

“Sunderland were the first club to ask me to move to the Premier League, and that meant a lot to me.

“I got higher offers, but they were not to play in the Premier League, and I really wanted to come here."
