Yaya Sanogo is hopeful that he will get more minutes on the pitch following his loan move to Crystal Palace from Arsenal.

The striker will spend the rest of the season at Selhurst Park after making just six appearances for the Gunners this season.

"When the Arsenal manager spoke with me about Crystal Palace I was very happy because I want to play more games," Sanogo told Palace's official website.

"I think Palace are a good team, I watched the game against Tottenham and it was a great performance from the guys. I hope I can help the club have a successful second half of the season."

Sanogo scored his first competitive goal for Arsenal in the Champions League in November.
