Sanoga set for St Etienne signing

Sanoga set for St Etienne signing Bremen, Germany - Ivory Coast striker Boubacar Sanogo is set to join St Etienne from Werder Bremen, the German Bundesliga club said Wednesday.

Sanogo, 26, will sign for the French club pending a medical examination, Werder media director Tino Polster said.

Sanoga arrived at Werder from SV Hamburg two years ago but failed to claim a regular first-team place. He spent a period on loan at Bundesliga side Hoffenheim last season before returning to Werder in July. (dpa)
