On 12 July 2007, Sagna completed a move to Arsenal from Auxerre for an undisclosed fee, thought to have been an initial €9 million that could rise to €11 million. He was given the number 3 shirt, which was previously worn by former defender Ashley Cole.

In 2014, shortly after winning the FA Cup, his first trophy at the club, he declared he would not continue as an Arsenal player and subsequently moved to Manchester City when his contract expired. A full international since 2007, he was selected by France for two World Cup tournaments.
