Sounds like this bloke is a decent prospect but the fact he's been 'linked' with a host of clubs may not really mean anything much other than that he's got a good agent! In fact, the story in the Scottish press linking him to Celtic was all purely based around quotes from the player and nothing at all from the club. The Villa line looks more realistic - you'd have expected Houllier to have his feelers out for the best French prospects. Interesting to see what happens with this one.
