It’s official 12 July, 2007

I’m sure you all know by now but yeah Bacary (apparently it’s not Bakari) Sagna has been officially signed. He’s said all the usual stuff a new signing says but this is what Wenger had to say:

“We are delighted to have signed Bacary Sagna. He is a very capable defender and has played consistently well for Auxerre in recent seasons. He plays mainly at right back, but can also play along the defence or in midfield. He is strong, quick and enjoys defending but also has a good offensive side to his game. He has a fighting spirit and will be a very good addition to our squad.”

So it sounds as if Arsene has plans to use him as a defender. Maybe Eboue will be pushed up to right wing? Especially with Ljungberg’s move looking likely. We’ll have to wait and see.

You can read Sagna’s full interview here and there’s all the stats and stuff here.

Only had time for a quick update of the squad pages. See ya.
