Arsenal to complete Yaya Sanogo deal

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that the club are closing to sealing a deal for Yaya Sanogo from Auxerre. The talented young striker is one of France's brightest footballing prospects.

"We are advanced with him, but it is not done," said Wenger. "I am very confident. He is a young striker who is promising, and has a big talent."


The 20-year-old forward has bagged 10 goals in 19 games for Auxerre, and many of Europe's biggest clubs have been chasing his signature, including AC Milan and Fiorentina.


Sanogo will complete a move to Arsenal next week.
