Bacary Sagna has declared that he quit Arsenal because he didn't think they had what it took to win the Premier League title.

The French international quit the Emirates Stadium during the summer, joining champions Manchester City on a three-year deal.

Sagna, 31, says he moved on as he had had enough of seeing the Gunners continually fail in their bid for the championship.

“At Arsenal we lost our way every season in March or April," stated Sagna, who spent seven years in north London, in The Sun.

"We would lose our grip on titles with the squad decimated by injuries. What was missing was trophies.”

Sagna has spent much of his time at City playing second fiddle to Argentine right-back Pablo Zabaleta.

But he says he has no regrets about moving, after growing frustrated with what he perceived as Arsenal's reluctance to offer him a new deal.

“Talks dragged on for a year and a half. Arsenal fans said I went to City for the money. But my contract was unchanged for six years.”
