Huddersfield Town announced signing of former Arsenal striker Yaya Sanogo

It's been gathered that Huddersfield Town have completed the signing of French striker Yaya Sanogo.

The 28-year-old joins Town as a free agent after he left French top-flight side Toulouse at the end of the last campaign.

Huddersfield Town’s Head of Football Operations Leigh Bromby commented:

“We’re happy to welcome Yaya to the Club this week.

“It’s great that he has experience of playing in England, including the Championship, as it should allow him to hit the ground running. It was also clear from our discussions with him that he has excellent command of the language, and that he’s a positive person.

“He’s been at some big clubs in his career and comes having most recently played in a top European league. We were looking for a player who can have a real impact for us this season and we believe he fits the bill.”

It's been gathered that Yaya Sanogo will wear the number 55 shirt at Huddersfield Town. 

Recall that Sanogo joined Arsenal in 2013 and spent four years at the Emirates club until he left in 2017. 

Head Coach Carlos Corberán added:

“Yaya is a player who has a background in English football, something that can make his adaptation to the Championship easier.

“Physically he has a different profile to the strikers we already have in attack and it can help to increase the offensive versatility of the team.

“He has been training with a professional team in France from September until he made the journey to England, which means he should be in a better physical condition. He will still need a little time, and we will work with him to make him ready to help the team in the last part of the season.”
