Bacary Sagna confirms Arsenal departure
French international full back Bacary Sagna has confirmed that he will leave Arsenal this summer. The defender has now admitted that he will leave the Emirates once his contract expires.
Man City and Chelsea are both believed to have entered the race to sign Sagna on a permanent deal now that the Frenchman is out of contract.
Sagna has finally confirmed that his future lies elsewhere, away from the Gunners.
"It is no longer a secret, I am leaving Arsenal, it is a certainty," Sagna told L'Equipe. "Arsenal made an effort but the discussions did not go in the direction that I wanted.
"It was an honor to grow in the shirt. Arsenal is a club that brought me a lot, both as a person and as a sportsman. Even though we had been criticised for quite some time due to the lack of trophies, I had some magical moments. If I had to do, I'd do it again."
