Bacary Sagna has confirmed that he is leaving Arsenal this summer, when his contract expires.
The Gunners have been keen to keep hold of the right-back, but have been unable to agree a new contract with the man they signed from Auxerre in 2007.
And Sagna, who has been strongly linked with a number of clubs, including Manchester City, has admitted his time in north London is up.
"It's no longer a secret, I will leave Arsenal for sure", he explained to L'Equipe.
