I think Sagna is the one first XI player whose contract finishes next year and any talk of it from the club has gone quiet since the summer. The point of contention seems to be Arsenal’s standard one-year offer but Sagna wanting two or three. Appears more than likely he’ll leave next summer given how talks don’t seem to have got anywhere.
In my opinion Bac has lost some sharpness over the last year or so. Age and injuries undoubtedly have an effect here. At right-back he’s become less assured in one-on-one situations. His big strength was athleticism on the right but I think that’s declining. I think it’s might be case of Wenger looking at the stats, seeing some overall drop and prioritising his importance from that.
He’ll more than likely get a longer contract elsewhere. I have liked the idea of him staying given his accomplished performances at centre-back but that possibility seems remote. Thoughts on the situation?
