Didier Zokora has insisted he has no regrets after claiming he chose Tottenham Hotspur over North London rivals Arsenal.

The Ivory Coast international signed for Spurs from St Etienne in 2006, and has since recorded over 100 appearances for the White Hart Lane club.

Zokora is set to line up against Arsenal on Sunday, and ahead of the clash the 28-year-old has revealed that he had an opportunity to join the Gunners.

He told the Telegraph: "Yes, when I signed for Spurs, Arsenal also wanted me.
Real overtures

"I spoke with Arsene Wenger after the World Cup but I preferred to come to Spurs because it gave me a good option for my life. I am very happy."

Zokora, who is contracted to Spurs until 2012, also confirmed he had no intention of leaving Tottenham during reported interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid last year.

He added: "Everybody knows Real Madrid wanted me but I signed a new contract for this club and if they want me, I stay.

"The club needs me, my life is here. Real are one of the best clubs in the world so that is good for me, no? That means I am not a bad player!"

I must admit I was a big admirer of his a few years ago but not so much now.

He's good at what he does defensivly but offers very little else imo. Dont think he has the technical skills to play in Arsenals mid.

Song if far better technically than Zokora. That said, Song is a center half...

DMs not need to be technically gifted but it does help if they can kick straight.

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Greatest ownage machine: Scholes. Absolute animal when he was a regular poster, I always knew I was in the right when he was backing me up, and I couldn't wait to read a topic that he was posting in because I knew he'd be tearing someone apart
