Yaya Sanogo joins Crystal Palace on season-long loan from Arsenal

Yaya Sanogo's loan move from the Emirates Stadium to Selhurst Park is complete.

Arsenal confirmed on Tuesday that the 21-year-old forward will be joining Crystal Palace on a season-long loan that will allow him to gain first-team experience at a club hovering above the relegation zone.

Sanogo has struggled to adapt to life at Arsenal, scoring only one goal in 19 appearances since he arrived at the club as a free agent in 2013. Manager Arsene Wenger reportedly rejected inquiries from Hull City, Queens Park Rangers, and Bordeaux ahead of Sanogo's move to Crystal Palace, where he'll likely be paired with Marouane Chamakh in front of goal.

The loan deal also fulfills Wenger's preference of Sanogo joining another Premier League side instead of moving abroad.
