Manchester City striker Stevan Jovetic insists he has no regrets about move to England

The Montenegrin has seen his start at Eastlands hampered by injury but says he remains happy with his decision to swap Serie A for the Premier League

Manchester City striker Stevan Jovetic insists he has no regrets about his summer move to the Premier League.

The Montenegrin - who captained his country in their 4-1 defeat to England at Wembley on Friday - has struggled to hold down a first team place since sealing a £22.4m switch from Fiorentina in July.

But despite a number of niggling injuries, the 23-year-old feels he made the right decision in rejecting interest from Juventus and swapping Florence for Manchester.

"If I would have not gone to Manchester City, I would have gone to Juventus," he told Italian newspaper Tuttosport.

He added: "I only asked to leave Fiorentina and I was pleased. The interest of Juventus? I was aware of the deal, I read about it on the newspapers and I know that they were speaking with my agent.

"In the end, however, I chose to go abroad and now I'm happy. I don't regret the choice I made."

An early-season hamstrung injury has restricted the former-Viola man to just two appearances for the Eastlands club so far, but he now feels he is back in shape and is determined to make up for lost time.

"I arrived at City behind in my physical condition and so I have always been behind the shape of others," he said.

"Then I went to the national team and I got injured again, thus losing more time."

"Against England, I proved to be in good shape and now I just need to play regularly to find the best condition, I'm not worried."

Jovetic will hope to be involved on Saturday as his side try to build on their win over Everton last time out when they travel south to face West Ham.
