Yaya Sanogo set for Bordeaux loan

Arsenal's out-of-favour striker Yaya Sanogo looks set to move to Ligue 1 on loan with Bordeaux, Metro reports.

The French Under-21 international is known for his goal-scoring capabilities during his time with Auxerre.

Having come from the same academy as Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, many expected the young striker to make his mark in the Premier League.

However, Sanogo has failed to score a single league goal for the Gunners upto now, and Metro claims that manager Arsene Wenger will let the 21 year old leave the club on loan for the remainder of the season.

It is also understood that Bordeaux are firm favourites to seal a temporary deal for Sanogo this winter.
