Ki Sung-yueng: 'I chose Swansea City because they're better than Sunderland'

Ki Sung-yueng admits that he decided to return to Swansea City from Sunderland because the Welsh side are a "better team".

Ki Sung-yueng has admitted that Swansea City's style of football convinced him to return to the club following a loan spell at Sunderland.

The 26-year-old reportedly held talks with the Black Cats regarding a permanent move last year, but opted to return to the Welsh outfit because they have "better players".

"I had to choose Swansea or Sunderland, but I think Swansea are a better team," The Northern Echo quotes Ki as saying. "Swansea play better football. Swansea have better players and, to be fair, that is why we are higher up the table."

Ki first joined the Swans from Celtic in 2012.
