Arsenal signing Sanogo: Injuries almost drove me POSTAL!

Arsenal signing Yaya Sanogo admits injuries almost drove him POSTAL!

The young striker has signed for Arsenal on a Bosman from Auxerre after three years plagued by serious injury.

At one stage, Sanogo confesses he was ready to jack it all in.

"I told my Mum that I was about to quit because of all my injuries," he recalled.

"I said that I really wanted to give up and that I wanted to work in the post office with her."

But Sanogo dug in and was able to fight back last season to the point where he had Arsenal and Lille offering him lucrative contract proposals.
