Yaya Sanogo feels he will be stronger for his first season with Arsenal.
The young French striker believes he struggled due to not having a preseason.
He told Foot Mercato: "For me, it's been a weird season. I was flat, tired after the U20 World Cup. I did not have a vacation, I had to get used to a new culture, a new game, it was not very good conditions.
"Then I hurt my back, so in the end my season began in earnest in January. I returned with less pain, and this is where my season started.
"Alongside players like Özil or Cazorla, you cannot but learn every day. I learned with these great players. Over the past six months, the experience was positive."
