Yaya Sanogo

Captain

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

Welcome to Arsenal FC

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.

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

lorddulaarsenal

Only seem him a handful of times but he looks ok

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.

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.

New thread.

Lazy bums.

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?

Pepe LeFrits

At any rate, I like his strike rate this season.
