After two years in Pantin, he departed the club for CS Municipal d'Eaubonne, another sports club, this time based in Eaubonne. Sanogo spent only a year at the club and, the following year, joined Montrouge CF 92, a local club in the southern suburbs and the same club that had the honor of training young starlets Hatem Ben Arfa and Issiar Dia. After failing to earn selection into the prestigious Clairefontaine academy, Sanogo joined another local Parisian club CO Les Ulis, the same club that produced France national team's all-time leading goalscorer Thierry Henry. He spent only a year at the club before being signed up on an aspirant (youth) contract with first division club Auxerre at age 13.
Sanogo quickly established himself in the club's youth system
scoring 25 goals in 14 matches and also providing 17 assists in the
2006–07 edition of the Championnat Federal des 14 ans. While playing with the under-16 team, the following season, in the Championnat National des 16 ans, Sanogo averaged a goal a game. Alongside his positive displays domestically, Sanogo's prolific scoring on the international stage led to him being declared Auxerre's best overall prospect. He drew the interest of Premier League clubs Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur before signing his first professional contract for three years on 27 October 2009.
