Sagna completes shock move to Benevento

Former Arsenal and Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna has joined Benevento on a free transfer, the Italian club confirmed on their official website.

The 34-year-old was last playing for Manchester City until his release in the summer of 2017. He’s since been on the look-out for a new club, turning down a host of rich European and MLS giants by his own admission to find a side with a “wonderful story”.

Sagna, formerly of FC Sens, AJ Auxerre and Arsenal, represented the French national team on 65 occasions and has won three domestic cups with three different clubs.
