Former Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte has denied rubbishing life with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.

Laporte had complained in an interview with AS that the Saudi Pro League weren't taking care of their imports as well as they should.

However, after a backlash from local fans, Laporte has insisted his words were misinterpreted.

He posted to social media: "It wasn't a moment where I was thinking a lot but whatever. I think the translation is not good to the other language and other things so I want to say, I'm very happy here in Saudi Arabia.

"The people here are amazing, I didn't expect that from you guys, just (be) calm with what you hear, listen and read. At the end it is what it is, thank you for all your support as always."
