Arsenal have agreed a deal to bring Yaya Sanogo from Auxerre on a free transfer although it has not been made official because there are still a few days left on his contract.He has been prolific for France at the youth stage scoring 30 goals in 47 games.He played 13 games for Auxerre in Ligue 2 scoring 10 goals and 1
assists,most of his goals for Auxerre last season came during a crazy goal scoring streak in which he scored 7 goals in 2 matches.As a youngster he has also played for CO Les Ulis the club where Arsenal legend Thierry Henry began his career.The manager of Auxerre has said about him:
"It’s not a coincidence, everything happens for him now. This guy, he understands everything. He has a perfect approach of football. He listens, he works, he is humble, he has his feet on the ground and head on his shoulders. It is a pleasure for the coach."He has also said that Wenger is unlikely to loan him back as he considers him part of the first team.
He is tall and strong but also quite pacy for a guy who is 6'3,he has good first touch and technical ability which he attributes to the five a side matches,he is good at holding the ball up and bringing others into play not only is he an aerial threat but is also good with the ball at his feet his pace and strength combination allows him to get past opponents.Sanogo also has a tendency to score from overhead kicks which will make him a fan favorite at Arsenal if he can score some of those.The only problem is that he is prone to injuries which have kept him out of the side for long periods,he is inexperienced but i don't think that should be a problem as he will not be a first team regular for the coming season.In your opinion should Sanogo be given a chance in cup matches or sent on a loan?
