Yaya Sanogo

This kid scores when he wants. 😃

I'm actually pretty excited about him participating in the League Cup and maybe coming off the bench from time to time.

Yeah, he may only be playing in League 2 and U20s, but, he is awfully consistent at scoring.

I guess, if you are big and strong and good enough technically at a particular level, you'd get a goal a game normally. Whether he is strong enough and good enough for Premiership is the key question, though.

Burnwinter

You can see from his reels that he has a notably good first touch, not just a generically ok one. I think that's an excellent sign.

The more attentive and physical defending of the PL will slow him down considerably, the question will be if he can get past that. If he is going to lead the line, then pace and the ability to peel off a defender, receive the ball and score with composure will also be a big factor.

Guess I'm just saying "wait and see" there ...

Irishgunner

He seems to be doing well, it depends on whether he can remain fit though...

TambourineMan

France have sent quite a strong team for this. Pogba for instance is a full international.

Yet another annoying issue the last few years was not having a really exciting young striker coming through.

Probably a bit early to get excited about this guy too. That said, the best striker our academy has produced under Wenger has been Nick Bendtner.

What, no Quincy?

asajoseph

Actually, Aliadiere probably has a claim too.

Captain

Carlos Vela.

Clrnc

Those 3 ain't produced by our academy at all.

Shady

Vela should have amounted to so much more.

Irishgunner

He's done well in Spain, he was never given the opportunity here, not really.

lorddulaarsenal

Does seem to score when he wants

Looks awkward to me though

Irishgunner

He's yet to really fill out I think, he'll grow into his frame.

MistaT

Was excited to hear he'd scored again.

Little less so seeing as it was a peno

Asterix

I think the word you're looking for Dules is gangly. He looks gangly still.

Iloveyouarsenewenger

That was a weird run up to the penalty spot. He's lucky it went in.
