Exit revelation
Bacary Sagna has now revealed why he quit Arsenal for Manchester City in the summer of 2014.
"Many people didn’t understand why I left but I’m going to clear this up one more time," said Sagna.
"It’s not about the money because I stayed with Arsenal for six years on the same contract, I never asked for anything.
"I just needed a new challenge and I needed to challenge myself and I think it was the right time for me to leave and when I eventually did it was really difficult because Pablo Zabaleta was one of the main players of the team and the first year was quite difficult for me, but I kept training hard and during the second year I was one of the players who played the most and I think I did well."

Huge Torreira hint
Arsenal transfer target Lucas Torreira has dropped a massive hint that he is on his way to the Emirates.
Torreira has been lined up by Gunners transfer chiefs to add some much-needed steel to Unai Emery's squad.
And the Uruguay international is expected to complete a move once his involvement at the World Cup in Russia ends.
Torreira was pictured with a friend in a post on Instagram which carried a now-deleted Arsenal hashtag.
And he responded to the post by giving it a cheeky 'like' - hinting he's poised to head to north London.

Ozil in Wilshere request
Arsenal ace Mesut Ozil wants to make the most of Jack Wilshere heading for the Emirates exit door, reports claim.
Ozil and Wilshere spent four years together with England international spending one season away from north London on loan at Bournemouth.
All the while Ozil has been forced to watch his team-mate play in his favoured No 10 shirt.
Wilshere announced last week though that he is leaving Arsenal when his contract expires at the end of the month.
The Mirror claim Ozil is now set to speak to Arsenal about swapping his No 11 jersey for Wilshere's.
