Striker target 'has left for medical at Arsenal'

Yaya Sanogo is reportedly about to undergo a medical at Arsenal.

Yaya Sanogo confirmed earlier today that Arsenal would be his first choice if he is to leave France, and according to Auxerre his decision is far more unconditional.

It is claimed that the striker has in fact decided to leave France and join Arsenal, informing his club of his decision earlier today.

Guy Cotret, Auxerre president told French newspaper l'Yonne Republicaine: "He gave us his answer. He chose to join Arsenal so has left to have his medical there."
