DeAndre Yedlin has no regrets about leaving Tottenham for a loan at Sunderland this season.

Yedlin, 22, joined Spurs from Seattle Sounders in January 2015, but made just one appearance before going to Sunderland.

Sunderland is in the midst of a relegation battle while Spurs are fighting for the title.

"Things have worked out the way they have, and that's how I'm going to go along with it," Yedlin -- who will hope to retain his place in the Black Cats' starting line-up for Saturday's trip to West Ham -- told the Northern Echo.

"I'm really happy with the way things have worked out because I've enjoyed the lads here, I've enjoyed my game-time here and I'm going to keep pushing.

"Will I be a better player for this experience? Yes, 100 percent. I feel like I've improved immensely in terms of my defending, not only in one-versus-ones but also with my positioning.

"I'm learning from guys like Younes [Kaboul], [John] O'Shea and Wes [Brown], all guys who have been at top teams and been through it all. It's a great experience for me."
