Bassogog dreaming of move to “favourite club” Arsenal

Cameroon international Christian Bassogog has spoken of his desire to join Premier League side Arsenal.

The 23-year-old striker is highly-rated in Cameroon and announced himself to the world during the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations as he inspired his nation to glory.

The forward was named as the player of the tournament after a series of very impressive performances.

Following the tournament, Bassogog sealed a move to Chinese Super League side Henan Jianye, but is now eager to move to the Premier League to showcase his talents.

When speaking to Goal, the Cameroonian said:

It’s still a dream for me to come back to Europe. I would like to play in the biggest league in the world, in the Premier League.

My favourite club since I was very small is Arsenal. I like playing with the ball and this club suits me. When I was a child, Thierry Henry was a model for me. It’s someone who impressed me a lot.

Bassogog has managed to find the back of the net six times so far this season and with Arsenal likely to attempt to sign a forward in January or at the end of the season, he is hoping that he can catch the eye of manager Unai Emery.
