Bacary Sagna - Classy Footballer

BacarySagna scored once in 13 appearances for the French u-21 team over the course of a two-year period from 2004 to 2006. Sagna was part of the French squad to the 2006 edition of the UEFA European u-21 Championship.

Sagna had the chance of playing for Senegal, but he opted for France. According to him, he was contacted by Senegalese football officials when he started playing at French club Auxerre, but it was on the same day he had a game for the French u-21 team so he had to make a choice. BacarySagna had to choose either Senegal or France and he went on to pick France over Senegal. He had earlier wanted to play for Senegal at the age of 17, but the country's football officials didn't reply him.

Bacary Sagna has urged Arsenal to do ‘everything’ and retain Alexandre Lacazette, suggesting that a new contract should be on the cards. Alexandre Lacazette’s Arsenal future is up in the air, with his contract expiring in the summer. Arsenal are expected to sign a new forward in the summer, as Mikel Arteta wants a new way ahead. However, retaining the Frenchman also remains on the agenda for now.

William Saliba is likely to return to Arsenal in the summer following a successful loan spell at Marseille Bacary Sagna insists there is no rift in the relationship between William Saliba and Mikel Arteta and is confident his compatriot will thrive at Arsenal next season.

English Premier League club Arsenal are still in the hunt for a top striker this summer and they have been making a list of options to choose from. Their former player Bacary Sagna has urged them to take their time in their hunt for a new top signing instead of rushing things. Sagna has urged the Gunners to target a striker in the summer who can provide a ‘focal point’ up front like former Gunners centre-forward Olivier Giroud.

Former Arsenal and Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna has revealed what he thinks about his former side Arsenal selling star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the January winter transfer window. The striker was allowed to join BRcelija before the transfer deadline day and it caused quite a stir among Arsenal fans, with some questioning the club's decision to do that, while others backed tothe decision.

Sagna has backed Arsenal’s ‘strong’ decision to let Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leave the club in January. The Gabon international was stripped of the captaincy in December for his latest disciplinary breach, and didn’t play again for the Gunners after losing the armband. In the final stages of the January transfer window, Aubameyang’s contract was terminated by mutual consent, which later allowed him to later join Barcelona on a free transfer.

Bacary Sagna left Arsenal for Manchester City in 2014 in mysterious circumstances. The decision didn't go down well with the club faithful, as they lambasted his decision to trade Arsenal for another team in England. He was booed every time his city side visited the Emirates in the three years he spent at City.

Bacary Sagna went on to make 86 appearances for the Manchester side while adding a league cup to his name. Sagna's last appearance for Arsenal was in the Fa Cup final, which Arsenal won 3*2. It was the only trophy he won in seven years at the club. Rumors then were that he left Arsenal for financial reasons, after failing to reach an agreement with the club for an extension.

At the start of his football career, BacarySagna wanted to play for the Senegalese national team. The right-sided defender contacted the Senegalese football authorities at the age of 17 but they were not forthcoming. BacarySagna didn't get a reply and that left him disappointed. The Frenchman would later get an invitation from the Senegalese football authorities when he started playing for Auxerre in the French top flight.

Sagna was contacted by the Senegalese football authorities on the day of a game with the French u-21 team and he had to make a decision without much thinking time. In the end, he opted to stay with the French u-21 team whom he represented at the 2006 European u-21 Championship in Portugal.

Ex-French international BacarySagna has warned Arsenal not to rely on kids to produce results in the Premier League on a regular basis.BacarySagnasent the message to his former clubin a chat with freebets. According to him, Arsenal can't rely on young players throughout the whole season.

BacarySagna said his former club can't put too much pressure on young players like Bukayo Saka,Aaron Ramsdale in a bid to deliver success in the Premier League this season and that putting too much pressure on the youngsters can affect their mental health negatively.

A lot of Arsenal fans didn't agree with Bacary Sagna when he called for patience when the club lost the first three games in the Premier League without a single goal. In his interview with William Hill, Bacary Sagna backed Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for the job despite the Spaniard leading the club to the bottom of the table with zero point and nine goals conceded in three games at the start of the new Premier League campaign.

Bacary Sagna has been proved right with his opinion on situation as ex-Arsenal teammate Arteta has turned things around and led the team to the top five after 11 games. It has taken Arteta and his players just eight games to significantly close the gap on the leading teams on the league table. With Arteta in charge, Arsenal have the longest unbeaten run in the English top flight at the moment as they have not tasted defeat in eight games.

Ex-Arsenal defender BacarySagna has disclosed what Gunners boss Mikel Arteta wants from his fullbacks. BacarySagna talked about Arteta and Arsenal in an exclusive interview with Football London. According to BacarySagna, Arteta wants an inverted fullback style for his fullbacks just like what is employed by Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Arteta was the assistant manager to Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium for some years and he's like a mentor to the Arsenal manager.
