Sunderland's Larsson has no regrets leaving Arsenal

Sunderland midfielder Sebastian Larsson has no regrets leaving Arsenal.

Larsson has no ­regrets about ­making his difficult decision to leave ­Arsenal after watching two FA Cup Finals from the stands.

Larsson said: "When I went on loan to Birmingham, I didn't want to go back to Arsenal and be a bit-part player, only involved every now and then. I was never involved in an FA Cup Final with Arsenal. I was in the stands. But I don't want to be wearing a suit at an FA Cup final - I might as well watch it at home. You can't hang on at a big club just because you're there - you have to be ­honest.

"I want to show people I am a good player. That is what I am trying to do here. Martin O'Neill has brought a confidence and a will to win to Sunderland.

"There is no reason why we can't have a good FA Cup run."
