Arsenal striker Yaya Sanogo has been linked with a loan move to French side Bordeaux in the January transfer window, as the youngster trickles down the pecking order in the striking department with the return of Olivier Giroud and the surge of Alexis Sanchez into the attacking fray at the club, according to the Daily Star.

Sanogo was an integral part of the first team squad last season, but the return of Giroud from injury has forced the 21-year old to only find a place on the bench. The Frenchman could make a move to his native country where Bordeaux would offer first team football for the striker and some other Premier League sides like Crystal Palace and West Brom are also rumoured to be interested in bringing in the young forward on loan.
