London's "Arsenal" club officially announced that the first purchase of this summer was the French "Ligue 2" team "Auxerre" striker Yaya Sanogo.

Arsene Wenger has been interested in this young Frenchman for some time. Y. Sanogo will arrive in London as a free agent, so the transfer of the football player to the "Gunners" team will cost nothing.

"Sanogo is a good footballer, so I am happy that we managed to attract this player," Wenger officially stated on the club's website.

The French under-21 national team member scored 11 goals in 24 matches for "Auxerre" team.
