Real Madrid striker Emmanuel Adebayor says he never wanted to leave Arsenal. The Togo ace insists it was the Gunners which initiated his move to Manchester City.
"I don't regret going to Manchester City," he told The Sun.
"I did my part for Arsenal, I contributed a lot but I did not have the chance to win anything.
"It was a tough moment when the club asked me to leave. It was the most difficult moment in my life because when I grew up my dream was one day to play for and stay at Arsenal and all my dreams stopped there.
"I did not go beyond Arsenal. I know there are lot of bigger clubs than Arsenal but it was my dream because my hero played there, Nwankwo Kanu, so my dream was to play for them for as long as possible.
"But when I came back from holidays and they told me that I had to leave the club, it was very difficult for me.
"After that, there was interest from Manchester City in me, so I went there. I was very happy."
