Yannick Anister Sagbo Latte (born 12 April 1988), known asYannick Sagbo, is a professionalfootballer who plays as astriker. Born in France, he played for theIvory Coast at international level.
Sagbo was born inMarseille, France, and began his football career playing for his local side in SC Air Bel, in Marseille, before joining Monaco during the winter of 2004. He was a part of Monaco's07–08CFA squad that won the reserve's professional title (a championship that is reserve for the professional clubs reserves playing in the CFA) scoring 13 goals in 25 matches. Following the season on 13 May 2008, he signed his first professional contract, agreeing to a three-year deal keeping him at the club until 2011.
He officially joined the first-team squad for pre-season in July 2008, where he was handed the number 9 kit. Sagbo made three appearances during the pre-season, starting them all including their opening friendly match against fellow Ligue 1 sideToulouse FC,Croatian sideNK Zagreb, andOlympique Marseille. He proceeded to make his professional debut on 8 November 2008 in a 0–1 loss toOlympique Lyonnais, coming on as a substitute playing 17 minutes.[4]
On 26 July 2013, Sagbo signed a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee with English Premier League sideHull City.[5] He made his debut for Hull, on the first day of the2013–14 season, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 loss away atChelsea.[6] On 24 August 2013, againstNorwich City at theKC Stadium, a confrontation between players saw Sagbo given a straight red card for violent conduct.[7] He scored his first goal in English football on 19 October 2013, away atEverton in a 2–1 defeat, having come on as a substitute.[8] Later in the season, he scored as Hull reached their first-ever FA Cup Final by scoring their first goal in a 5–3FA Cup semi-final defeat ofSheffield United atWembley Stadium;[9] he had also scored an equaliser earlier in the competition to prevent their elimination.[10] In the final, which Hull lost to Arsenal, Sagbo was an unused substitute.
At the start of the 2014–15 season, Sagbo featured only once for Hull, in a League Cup exit. Out of contention with the Tigers, he joined Championship sideWolverhampton Wanderers on an emergency loan in September 2014 that was due to last three months[11] and made his club debut on 1 October 2014 in a defeat toHuddersfield Town.[12] However, after three brief substitute appearances, he dropped out of first team contention, with manager Kenny Jackett citing a lack of fitness and the player's failure during his appearances to "state a case for more [gametime]".[13] On 13 November he was recalled by Hull City, two months before his loan was due to expire.[14] Jackett subsequently suggested it had been a mutual decision between the clubs.[15] His contract expired in 2015 and Hull City decided not to extend it.[16]
In January 2008 he was called up for a training camp with theFrench under-21futsal team for a 4-day camp.[17]
Sagbo was nominated for theBenin national team on 30 May 2008 againstAngola.[18] On 10 August 2010, he made his debut for theIvory Coast national team againstItaly in a friendly game atUpton Park. He came on after 61 minutes forSeydou Doumbia. Ivory Coast won the game 1–0.[19]
