Pennant Arsenal regrets
|
Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant admits he regrets choosing Arsenal over the Reds when he was 16 years old.
The Nottingham-born winger was one of the hottest properties in English football when he swapped Notts Country for Highbury in 1999 but while things didn't quite work out at Arsenal, Pennant is just happy that he finally ended up at the club he grew up supporting.
"I have no regrets about going to Arsenal as a 16 year-old," he says. "But if I had the chance again I would have come to Liverpool when I was 16. I am just thrilled to be here now. There were bad times as well as good times for me at Arsenal, but overall I enjoyed my years there.
"That was one of the choices I made in life and I had to live with it but I am at Liverpool now so I couldn't have don too much wrong. A lot of players would love to be in my position. Obviously I think there is more to come from me. I want to score goals and I am trying to find the back of the net."
