Former Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna has urged Mikel Arteta to take a chance on former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It has been a difficult few years for Pogba after his time at\u00a0United\u00a0ended under a cloud with many feeling as though he did not reach his full potential at Old Trafford. The Frenchman rejoined\u00a0Juventus\u00a0upon his release but was plagued with a series of injuries which scaled back his playing time.<\/p>\n

In February,\u00a0Pogba\u00a0was handed a four year ban from football after he tested positive for Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) the previous August. Upon appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the 31-year-old\u2019s ban has since been reduced to 18 months.<\/p>\n

This means the midfielder can partake in training sessions again in January and play competitively once more in March 2025. Pogba remains under contract at Juve but it is unclear whether the Italian giants will be open to keeping him on the books especially if a club offers to take him off their hands.<\/p>\n

Reports suggest\u00a0Pogba\u00a0would be open to a return to England and\u00a0Sagna\u00a0has told\u00a0Paddy Power\u00a0that Arsenal should be the ones to give him another chance. \u201cThe\u00a0Premier League\u00a0suits Paul Pogba \u2013 I would love to see him join Arsenal,\u201d the former United man\u2019s ex-international teammate explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be great \u2013 he has experience; he loves to play with young players around him \u2013 that is when he is most efficient. At the 2018 World Cup, that was when he was most efficient \u2013 he had friends around him.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cArsenal have a young, fresh team, and I see him performing in an Arsenal shirt. He will get love from their fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, he can start from scratch again \u2013 he\u2019s had time away from football, and he\u2019ll be back with a desire to get back into a good space and play football again.\u201d Pogba played just 12 matches for Juventus before his ban due to his injury issues.<\/p>\n
