Bacary Sagna has ended his seven-year stay at Arsenal by signing a three-year contract with Manchester City, according to reports in France.

Sagna, who is out of contract with the Gunners this summer, has been offered a two-year extension to stay at the Emirates Stadium.

But after admitting last month that he was unlikely to remain at Arsenal, French newspaper L’Equipe says he has put pen-to-paper on a contract with City.

It’s claimed that the Premier League champions have given him a three-year deal worth about £150,000-a-week – a significant rise on his £80,000-a-week Arsenal terms.

Sagna has also received offers from PSG, Monaco and Galatasaray, but the 31-year-old has always favoured remaining in the Premier League.
