Sagna bids Arsenal Farewell

Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna has confirmed
widespread speculation that he will be leaving
the Gunners during the upcoming transfer
window.
The French fullback revealed that negotiations
with the London club did not turn out the way
he wanted and as a result, he will be leaving
once his contract expires at the end of June.
“It's no longer a secret, I'll leave Arsenal,” the
31-year-old told French newspaper L'Equipe
from the national team’s training ground at
Clairefontaine.
"They tried to make an effort, but the
discussions have not gone in the direction I
wanted."
Sagna spent seven years at Arsenal, making
284 appearances under Arsene Wenger, and
was pleased to end his spell in London with
victory in the FA Cup.
“To finish at Wembley with the Cup, it was
something magical," he said.
"It was an honour to evolve in that shirt, Even
though we were criticised for quite some time
due to the lack of trophies, I spent some
magical moments there.
"If I had to do it again, I'd do the same thing."
Manchester City are believed to be front-
runners in the race to sign Sagna ahead of
next season.
