- The tall Togolese striker has added a new dimension
to the Arsenal side since signing from Monaco in
January 2006 and took just 21 minutes to open his
account at Birmingham on his debut. However
- Emmanuel’s contribution to the side can not be
measured solely in goals. His pace and willingness to
chase down defenders can create countless openings
for his colleagues.
- Emmanuel’s talent was seen early. He made his
debut for Metz at just 17 and scooped a Champions
League runners-up medal in 2004.
