Gallas hails best young gun

Arsenal skipper William Gallas thinks Armand Traore can be one of the best players in the world in the future.

The 18-year-old impressed last season with The Gunners in the Carling Cup as he helped the club reach the final which they lost to Chelsea.

The left back would appear to be Arsene Wenger’s second choice behind compatriot Gael Clichy and Gallas feels he has a bright future ahead of him.

“There are lot of great youngsters at Arsenal so it is difficult to say one name above the others,” Gallas told his personal website.

“The one who has monster potential and can achieve something special is Armand Traore. “He is only 18 and plays for France’s Under-19 team. If he keeps his head on his shoulders he can do something big in the future.”

Who was England's best player?









Setanta readers' comment of the day

“While all big teams (Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool) were busy protecting their best players, Arsenal was in forefront encouraging injury prone Walcott to participate in that useless freindly. Arsenal has a very thin squad and I remember Walcott said it but Wenger didn't take action to add some players. Arsenal players are not made of steel and Wenger should be prepared for such situation. We need Arsenal supporters on the board of Arsenal who can feel the way we feel when the team is losing and they can force Wenger to buy some experience players. Current board members are only interested in profits yet they (profits) don't go into history of the club”
