Yaya Sanogo, the U20 world champion with France, made his debut for Arsenal on Sunday in the Emirates Cup match against Didier Drogba’s Galatasaray, which Arsenal lost 1-2.
Despite the defeat, Sanogo left a positive impression in his first appearance in the Arsenal colors. Theo Walcott, commenting on the newcomer, stated, “He’s very strong. He hasn’t trained with us much. He’s a good guy. I think he will bring us a lot. There is a lot of competition for this position, but he has clearly shown his qualities.”
Originally from the Ivory Coast, Yaya Sanogo signed a long-term contract with Arsenal on July 1, marking the beginning of his journey with the Gunners. His promising debut suggests that he may be a valuable addition to the team, contributing to the competition in the forward positions.
