Sagna hails 'new Adebayor'

Bacary Sagna has praised Arsenal's new signing Marouane Chamakh as the next Emmanuel Adebayor...if you can call that praise.

The defender believes Chamakh can give Arsenal something different this season with his size, physique and goal threat.

Sagna has been impressed with what he has seen from the former Bordeaux striker so far in pre-season.

He said: "He can make the difference because he is a good player, can keep the ball and score great goals. It will be very important to have a player like that in front of goal.

"I will trust him with the ball because he can keep it quite easily and it will give us help to come and support him. He looks like Adebayor - they are both very good in front of goal and it's a good thing for the team."

Sagna, who scored a rare goal in the friendly against Celtic, went on to say that he is feeling confident ahead of the new season, and that the spirit in the Arsenal camp is positive.

The Frenchman said: "Everyone is ready and personally I cannot wait to play because I know we have a very good team with quality young players who play good football.

"We need to look forward, work on what we have to and just stay focused."
