Former England player, Darren Bent has finally opened up about why he left Sunderland after Asamoah Gyan arrived at the club.

Gyan who was candid over his former teammates answer stated that he was disappointed when Bent left.

Below is how the conversation unfolded

Gyan: Before [I leave], I want to ask Darren [Bent] why he left Sunderland.

Bent: Is it break, have you not got a break at this moment?

Host: Asamoah wants you to answer the question.

Bent: Not this time Asamoah. I felt it was your time to shine so if I don’t move over, you were going to take my spot anyway so the platform was yours.

Gyan: We were comfortable playing as two strikers. Honestly, I was disappointed because we were getting to know each other and performing and all of a sudden you left.

Bent: Yeah it's one of the things I say hmm. But look at the end of the day we got to spend a bit of time together and I enjoyed that time together.
