Al Hilal goalkeeper Bono explains leaving Sevilla

Al Hilal goalkeeper Bono has explained leaving Sevilla this past summer.

Bono resisted offers from across Europe to move to Saudi Arabia.

He told the club's website: "I had some family problems during my last season in Seville, I didn't feel well from a psychological point of view, I wasn't me anymore.

"I had to draw on my strength and all my experience, but I couldn't because I wasn't emotionally able to continue staying here. I needed a change for my health mental.

"You can't stay in one place knowing you can't be there. In Seville I had very little private life. Train, pick up the dog, take a nap and think about training the next day.

"When I saw that I no longer had the energy to continue giving everything for this club, the opportunity to leave arose and I left."
