Have Arsenal found another world beater?


Arsenal Football Club are set to seal the signature of Amaury Bischoff.

The French-born midfielder has turned down a new contract with German side Werder Bremen in order to head to the Emirates Stadium, after the lure of the Gunners proved too strong.

"Bremen was superb, but Arsenal is a huge opportunity for me," Bischoff told Bild. "Wenger has known me since my time at Strasbourg and believes in my quality. He trusts me to be in the first team.

"Wenger has not put me under any pressure. He said, 'Take all the time you need'."

Bischoff, 21-years-old, moved to Bremen in 2005, yet he has made just one senior appearance which came in the Uefa Cup against Celta Vigo in 2007: but will he go on to become yet another star find by Wenger?
