Photo: Arsenal complete January deal for technically gifted attacker

Arsenal striker Yaya Sanogo has joined the Championship outfit Charlton on loan for the remainder of this season.

Arsenal have confirmed the deal on their official website.

The French striker joined Ajax at the start of this season but he failed to impress in the Eredivisie. Sanogo has now left Ajax without scoring a single goal for them. His goalscoring record at Arsenal is equally poor.

Sanogo has scored just once for the Gunners in 20 appearances.

Arsenal hoped that the 23-year-old striker would continue his development with Ajax by playing regularly, but the young forward soon fell out of favour with the manager and found himself on the bench.
