Andreas Georgson has explained leaving Arsenal for Malmo.

Georgson joined Arsenal's management team from Brentford last season. But he has now been named MFF's new sporting director.

Georgson told Fotbollskanalen: "It's tough to leave. In part, Mikel Arteta showed great faith in me when he took me in from Brentford - that process was not entirely easy to take me from there.

"He has invested part of his trust and time for me to get into the job there - and to leave after a year offers mixed feelings of course.

"I enjoyed myself very much with the staff and the squad, I felt good there. There is no reason why I should leave there out of sheer well-being or lack of motivation. We had a good time together."
