Bacary Sagna is heading for Manchester City confirms his agent
BACARY SAGNA will stay in the Premier League with the Arsenal defender heading to Manchester City according to his agent.
Talks over a new two-year deal at the Emirates stalled, and the 31-year-old confirmed last week he was leaving the Gunners when he said: "It's no longer a secret, I will leave Arsenal for sure.
"They tried to make an effort, but the discussions have not gone in the direction I wished it.
"There are a lot of calls, a lot of speculation. Frankly, it gives headaches. I'll sort it all out before the start of the World Cup."
The Gunners have been assessing various transfer targets and Toulouse's Serfe Aurier is on their wishlist.

Inter Milan were previously linked with Sagna, but his agent has confirmed a deal with Manchester City is likely to go ahead.
"It's true that we were contacted, but for information only. We never spoke about figures", Sagna's agent said.
"He should be signing for Manchester City."
Sagna spent seven seasons with the Gunners, clocking up nearly 300 appearances.
