Perhaps the most attacking right-back in England right now. Emmanuel has electric pace and seems happy to raid down the flank at any opportunity. He amassed five Premiership assists in 2006/07 but, oddly, weighed in with only one goal — against Hamburg in the Champions League.
Emmanuel’s rise has been rapid. He was signed from Beveren in January 2005 and, in May 2006, was starting the Champions League Final against Barcelona. Like his countryman Kolo Toure, he can play in numerous positions and, in pre-season, Arsene Wenger suggested Emmanuel could be employed on the right side of midfield in the future.
He began the current season with 16 caps for the Ivory Coast.
