He is supposed to have the best pass completion rate in France at 92%. He's been kept on the bench by Beckham who was being played for marketing reasons. He's supposed to be really good in the tackle as well, and has good defensive abilities. He was called up to the French national squad last year, and is in with a chance of going to the World Cup with them.
Have seen him compared to Deschamps which is obviously a massive compliment. Not sure how he'd do in the Premiership - does he dictate the apce of a game like Arteta or is he a workhorse who plays it simply like Carsley? We need the former to replace Fellani
