Dubbed the

I hate people being dubbed the new anything...

Was just wondering if anyone knew anything about the St. Etienne hitman Emmanuel Riviere??

Linked with a move to Arsenal who he longs to play for...

"“I am flattered to be linked with the clubs mentioned. I am a young player, so to be linked with Arsenal is fantastic for me.

“If Arsene Wenger is interested in you it means you have potential to be a very good player. People compare me to Thierry Henry, and that is a big compliment. If I can achieve half of his career I will be happy."

Riviere has not exactly been prolific (but neither was Henry before he arrived at Arsenal) and has scored just eight goals in 35 appearances for St. Etienne, but is obviously talented and well thought of in France.

He has represented his country at every level from the U16s to the U21s and seems to be a typical Wenger type of signing.

And he has a very flashy name!"

That he does!!
