Sagna driven by tragic loss

Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna wants to win the EPL title for his late brother. Omar Sagna was found dead two years ago at the age of 28 following a seizure caused by a previously unknown medical condition. He is now the inspiration that drives Bacary on. "When I was younger I was always scared to lose someone from my family. When it happens you can't do anything apart from live and cope with it. It is still hard but it can also make you stronger as a person,” Sagna told the News of the World. The French international is now determined to dedicate his football honours to Omar. "If I look at something like winning the title then I say we are in with a chance now so I, we, must give it all we can. Who knows what is next, that is life,” he added.
