YAYA SANOGO has confirmed he will end his Arsenal nightmare this summer.
The Frenchman played just 20 games for the Gunners in four injury-plagued years since joining in 2013.
And he will leave when his contract expires as he looks to restart his once promising career elsewhere.
Sanogo, 24, told l’Equipe: “I’m free. The adventure ends. I dream of playing football.”
The powerhouse did not make a single first-team appearance this season after missing seven months through a calf injury.
Asked about his issues, he added: “I had a herniated disc. I did not have an operation. But from that moment on, my body often let me go.
“My left calf is healed. It kept me away from the fields for almost seven months.”
Sanogo has been tipped to join Genoa when his contract runs down but Lille in his homeland are also interested, as are Ajax.
And despite his troubles in North London, the former Auxerre star was full of praise for boss Arsene Wenger.
He said: “He is not responsible for my injuries. He is a great manager. He taught me a lot.
