Arsenal forward Yaya Sanogo has ended his Dutch experience with Ajax to join Charlton on loan until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old only made four appearances for the Amsterdam outfit in the first half of the season, and while he sacrificed top-flight football to sign with a Championship side, he should get playing time to further his development.

Sanogo arrived at Arsenal in 2013 from French side Auxerre. He won the FA Cup in his debut campaign, playing in both the semifinal and final.

Last year, he moved to Crystal Palace on loan and enjoyed moderate success. His last club goal came for the Eagles in January 2015.

Now, he'll be tasked with helping a side survive. Charlton is just one place from the bottom of the Championship and faces a serious threat of relegation to League One. With only 26 goals in 29 league matches, the Addicks hope Sanogo can find his scoring boots over the next five months.
