Chelsea, Manchester City, United battle for Bacary Sagna

BACARY Sagna remains coy over his future after playing what could be his last game for Arsenal.
  The France international is out of contract at the Emirates this summer, and talks with the club have failed to reach agreement over an extension.
  Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea are all reported to be interested in landing the 31-year-old.
  Speaking after helping Arsenal lift the FA Cup, their first trophy in nine years, he reiterated that he was yet to agree terms and admits the final win over Hull City could have been his last game for the club seven years after he joined the club from Auxerre.
  “Will it be my last game for Arsenal? I don’t know,” he told The Sun.

I wont forget Martins - Bacary Sagna

French defender, Bacary Sagna, has been one of Arsenal’s best performers since he joined the Gunners in 2007 from Auxerre.

But apart from being named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year in the 2007/08 and 2010/11 seasons, he has been unable to win team honours with the English giant in his five years from Highbury to Emirates.

The Gunners are yet to win a major silverware in seven years since they defeated Manchester United on penalties to win the FA Cup in 2005.

So, when Sagna and his teammates learnt that they would be playing Birmingham City in the 2011 final of the Carling Cup, they heaved a sigh of relief. However, the trophy drought continued!
