Sigurdsson has no regrets over Liverpool snub
Iceland midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson insists he has no regrets about turning down chance of reunion with former boss Brendan Rodgers
Icelander Gylfi Sigurdsson admits he has no regrets about rejecting a move to Liverpool in favour of Tottenham Hotspur as his side head to Anfield for a crucial meeting in the battle to qualify for the Champions League.
Unbeaten in 12 league games, including last weekend's victory over Arsenal in the north London derby, Andre Villas-Boas' team are up to third in the Premier League, five points behind second-placed Manchester City, while seventh-placed Liverpool are hoping to make a late surge into the top four.
Tottenham, though, have also been lifted by their impressive form in Europe and they travel to Merseyside today after a midweek 3-0 Europa League victory over Inter Milan.
That run has only strengthened Iceland midfielder Sigurdsson's view he made the right choice when he returned to England following an £8 million (HK$93 million) move from German club Hoffenheim.
The former Swansea man had been expected to be reunited with Brendan Rodgers, his old manager at the Liberty Stadium and now in charge at Liverpool.
But Sigurdsson said: "It was hard to turn them down because I knew Brendan. It wasn't about the history Liverpool have. Tottenham came in for me and you can see how well they've been doing over the last few years.
