Gael Clichy: 'No regrets over Manchester City switch'

Gael Clichy believes that he has improved as a player since joining Manchester City.

The French full-back linked up with the Citizens last summer following an eight-year stint with fellow Premier League side Arsenal.

Having helped City to win the Premier League title ahead of rivals Manchester United last season, the 26-year-old has revealed that his transfer could not have worked any better.

"It's funny, but I am a vastly different player this year since I moved to City," Clichy told Sky Sports News. "In my head, it is a turning point in my career. I wanted to see where it could take me. I do not regret it for a moment, as I have gained in self-confidence.

"It has been 10 years that I have played in the Premier League, which is not bad.

"I am champion of England and that is important in the life of a player. One feels stronger."

Clichy made 28 league starts last season.
