Bacary Sagna: the War Horse (Video)

Arsenal’s Bacary Sagna is one of my favourite players in the Premier League. He never leaves anything less than 100% on the pitch and despite breaking his leg twice (!) last season he has successfully rehabilitated and made his return.

He is the best right back in the league, too. Strong in the air, brilliant tackler and always very good with his defensive positioning.

Sagna joined Arsenal in 2007, a classic Wenger ‘never heard of him’ signing, and has made 155 appearances for the club. This excellent goal line clearance on Boxing Day in 2008 against Aston Villa is just one of the many examples that has made Sagna a favourite with Gooners for so many years.
