Reims: Jordan Siebatcheu

Let’s pull the potential card again. Reims is a pretty well-balanced team with very few clear-cut stars to choose from. However, one potential star to be is French-American striker Jordan Siebatcheu. The 19 year old has scored three times and assisted twice in just 499 minutes of play.

While two of his goals were all down to fortunate positioning, it still takes a degree of composure to welcome that ball onto your foot and put it away. It is more than Yaya Sanogo can do. So yes, I am saying that I would rather Siebatcheu to Sanogo. Plus, Siebatcheu is the same height, but not as lanky and three years younger.

Siebatcheu has not yet harnessed the potential of his aerial game but that will come with time. Again, he is only 19. You can never have too many aerial threats and once Olivier Giroud moves on, Arsenal will lose the best aerial threat in the EPL. I’m not saying Siebatcheu is the next Giroud, but I had to pick someone, and Siebatcheu looks pretty good.

Anyway, next up is Nantes.
