Arsenal Transfers: Picking One Player From Each Ligue 1 Side

7 of 21

Montpellier: Jerome Roussillon

This was a team like Bastia. There is no Olivier Giroud waiting to be picked out from this generation of Montpellier stock. So who did I find? A versatile left-sided young man with plenty of time to learn. Jerome Roussillon.

The 22 year old Frenchman can play anything on the left side of the pitch. From left back to left wing, he is fully capable. He has even scored two and assisted on two. Let’s think of him like a younger Kieran Gibbs. Except not really.

Roussillon has played nine times at left back, where he averages two tackles and an interception and a half. Not too shabby. But move Roussillon forward to the attacking left flank and in his three appearances he has scored two and assisted on one. That right there is versatility.

Add to his arsenal a respectable pass completion of 82% and this young man looks like he may have a lot to look forward to. He is a fantastic dribbler and one of those creative full back types that Arsenal has taken a liking to.

Guingamp, what have you?
