Football career

Early career

Sanogo was born in the commune of Massy in Essonne and began his career at age seven playing for CMS Pantin, a multi-sports club based in the northeastern suburbs of Paris. After two years in Pantin, he departed the club for CS Municipal d'Eaubonne, another sports club, this time based in Eaubonne. Sanogo spent only a year at the club and, the following year, joined Montrouge CF 92, a local club in the southern suburbs and the same club that had the honor of training young starlets Hatem Ben Arfa and Issiar Dia.

After failing to earn selection into the prestigious Clairefontaine academy, Sanogo joined another local Parisian club CO Les Ulis, the same club that produce France national team's all-time leading goalscorer Thierry Henry.[1] He spent only a year at the club before being signed up on an aspirant (youth) contract with first division club Auxerre at age 13. Sanogo quickly established himself in the club's youth system scoring 25 goals in 14 matches and also providing 17 assists in the 2006–07 edition of the Championnat Federal des 14 ans. While playing with the under-16 team, the following season, in the Championnat National des 16 ans, Sanogo averaged a goal a game. Alongside his positive displays domestically, Sanogo's prolific scoring on the international stage led to him being declared Auxerre's best overall prospect. He drew the interest of Premier League clubs Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur before signing his first professional contract for three years on 27 October 2009.[2][3][4]

Professional career

Sanogo was not immediately promoted to the senior team and, instead, began the season playing in the Championnat National des 18 ans with the Auxerre under-18 team. On 10 October 2009, Sanogo was promoted to the team's Championnat de France amateur team making his debut in a 2–1 loss to Pontivy.[5] He scored his first CFA goal two weeks later in a 3–2 defeat to Romorantin.[6] The following week, he netted again, this time with Auxerre earning a 1–0 victory over Sénart-Moissy.[7] On 5 December, the youngster converted a hat trick against Viry-Châtillon in a 6–2 victory.[8] The three-goal display positioned him as the team's top scorer, despite being only 16 years of age.[9] On 24 January 2010, Auxerre manager Jean Fernandez named Sanogo to the team's squad to participate in a Coupe de France match against Sedan to be played on 26 January, a day before his 17th birthday. He was assigned the number 19 shirt.[10] Sanogo made his professional debut in the match appearing as a substitute in the 108th minute. Auxerre won the match 3–0 on penalties after the match ended 1–1 in regular time and extra time.[11] On 5 May 2010, Sanogo made his league debut appearing as a substitute in a 2–1 loss to Lyon.[12]

Sanogo began the 2010–11 campaign playing with the club's reserve team in the fourth division. On 18 September 2010, while playing in a league match against Mulhouse, Sanogo suffered a fracture tibia in a 2–0 win.[13] Two days later, the injury was confirmed by the club and the player will miss an estimated five months.[14]

International career

Sanogo has earned caps with the under-16 and under-17 teams of France. With the under-16s, Sanogo was installed as first-choice striker and scored a remarkable 18 goals in 18 games. Sanogo's notable goals during the season include a brace against Uruguay in the Tournoi du Val-de-Marne, a hat trick against Australia and a brace against Mali in the Tournio de Montaigu, and a goal against Germany in a match that was played at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.[15][16][17][18] At the 2009 Aegean Cup, Sanogo scored a tournament-leading five goals. He scored a hat trick against Belgium in a group stage match and also scored the game winning goal in the final against Norway, which France won 2–1.[19][20]

Due to the six-month suspension of international teammate Paul Pogba, Sanogo was named captain of the under-17 team by coach Guy Ferrier and continued his spectacular form scoring a brace against Belgium in the Toto Cup in Austria.[21] He later relinquished the captaincy in the new year giving it to Lille defender Jérémy Obin. In qualification for the 2010 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship, Sanogo scored goals against Slovenia and Estonia, earning a brace against the latter to help the team qualify for the Elite Round portion of qualifying.[22][23] Due to suffering a broken forearm while training with Auxerre, Sanogo missed the Elite Round portion, though France still qualified for the UEFA-sanction tournament without him. In the competition, Sanogo went scoreless in the first two group stage matches. In the final group stage match against Switzerland, he scored a brace in a span of four minutes in a 3–1 victory.[24] The positive result inserted France into the semi-finals, where the team was defeated by England.[25]

Sanogo bypassed the under-18 team and earned his first call up to the under-19 team in August 2010 to play in the Sendai Cup. In the tournament, Sanogo played in all three matches and, in the team's final group stage match against Brazil, scored a goal that was voted the goal of the tournament by the competition's organizing committee.[26]
