Auxerre attacker Yaya Sanogo says that he turned down a large number of offers before agreeing to move to Arsenal.

Yaya Sanogo has revealed that he has rejected numerous offers to sign for Arsenal.

The Auxerre striker is expected to complete his move to the Emirates Stadium later this summer when his contract with the French outfit expires.

"Arsenal could be a great club for me. I scored nine goals this season with Auxerre and they think I can improve my level in England," the 20-year-old told Sky Sports News.

"I am pleased to be following in the footsteps of Abou Diaby who came through from Auxerre. There are many teams interested in me, but Arsenal is my choice."

Sanogo learnt his trade at Les Ulis, where Arsenal's all-time leading goalscorer Thierry Henry also came through the ranks.
