Seems that we have signed Sanogo from Auxerre. "Advanced" is the word straight from Wenger.

Here's our man. Remember him being linked in January and a similar video posted.

Chamakhs replacement.

Sanogo on a free, or Zaha for 15m.

Who cares he's for free!

Doubt anyone watches Ligue 2 but his goal record is impressive for a young player.

20 years old, playing in Ligue 2, only 22 senior appearances and 9 goals. I'm not overly excited.

The hardest players to find are these young lads that can play back to goal. They get cleaned out often at youth level. And a lot of the lads you find that can play back to goal have bad injury records.

Wow. I didn't know that. But i agree, playing with back to goal is a disappearing art.

This video works if you click through to youtube (fucking scroungers).

Just read a reports hes had a double leg break and missed large chunks of 2 seasons as a result. So he is another one that's been through the mill. To maintain his goal scoring record though his recovery is impressive.

I have been following Sanogo since he was 15. Always tipped as next big thing in France and rightly so. So talented, powerful and clever 1/2

Big injuries slowed him down but has great potential. Only 20 and free. Scored 4 vs Laval and 3 vs Tours this season

I thought the left winger looked good too! 😆

Never seen him play, he's awesome on FM though 😆

The only thing I know about him is that he's big, which is good.

Wasn't Julien Laurens the guy saying we'd sign about four players in one window, and we didn't sign any?
