Mamadou Sangare - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Shows attacking intent Sangare had two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Sunderland. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 30th minute.

Impact Sangare was active from midfield during the first half, attempting two shots in just 45 minutes and regularly looking to push into more advanced areas before being withdrawn at the break. That performance continued an encouraging start to the season for the summer arrival from Lens, whose physicality, ball-carrying ability and willingness to progress play have already been evident. Those qualities give Brentford a dynamic two-way presence in central midfield and should keep Sangare heavily involved as the season develops.
