Sagna signs for Arsenal
| Quote: | 
Arsenal have completed the signing of Auxerre full-back Bakari Sagna.
The former French Under 21 international has penned a long-term deal at Emirates Stadium after the two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee believed to be around £6million.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was delighted to have sealed the signing of the 24-year-old, who he does not see as just a right-back.
"We are delighted to have signed Bakari Sagna," Wenger told the club's website.
"He is a very capable defender and has played consistently well for Auxerre in recent seasons.
"He plays mainly at right-back, but can also play along the defence or in midfield. He is strong, quick and enjoys defending but also has a good offensive side to his game.
"He has a fighting spirit and will be a very good addition to our squad."
Sagna himself was understandably pleased to have finally sealed his move.
"It is great to be joining Arsenal and I'm excited to be playing alongside many great players," he said.
"I know Abou Diaby from our time together at Auxerre and also Gael Clichy and Mathieu Flamini from the French Under 21 team.
"Also Arsene Wenger is a major reason why I have signed for Arsenal. He is an excellent manager with a fantastic record and I am really looking forward to working with him.
"I'm also looking forward to playing at Emirates Stadium and winning trophies for the club and all the supporters."  |
He'll be wearing the no.3, signings been confirmed on the official site too. |
