Coquelin Arsenal’s Makelele

Last summer on the recommendations of Giles Grimandi Arsenal signed a young French midfielder from Stade Laval. As with most of Arsenal's French signings Francis Coquelin was a mystery.

He made his debut against Barnet and also played against Szombathelyi Haladás. Even though the opposition on both occasions was not top rate, Francis showed great potential.
