Arsenal striker Yaya Sanogo will be a free agent after the end of this month.

The 24-year-old striker played for just 20 games for the Gunners since joining the club in 2013. His career was badly hit by injuries.

Sanogo is now looking to restart his once promising career elsewhere, and wants to play regularly.

Sunderland should make a move for him in the summer transfer window.

His career may not have flourished at Arsenal, but obviously he has got potential, otherwise he would not have been at the London club at the first place.

The upcoming summer transfer window is massive for Sunderland as they look to rebuild the club and get back into the Premiership again.

Bolstering the attacking department will be a top priority for the Black Cats this summer, especially with Jermain Defoe and Fabio Borini both expected to leave.

Signing him will be a gamble, but it is a risk worth taking. He probably needs the right manager who can maximise his talents.

Given he would be available on a free transfer, it won’t hurt Sunderland financially if he turns out to be a flop.
