That would push the number of French players to 10, as they already have Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Amalfitano, Marveaux and Obertan ...

West Ham boss Alan Pardew has hit out at Arsene Wenger for not fielding an English player in Arsenal's Champions League win against Real Madrid.
"I saw a headline saying Arsenal are flying the flag for Britain," he said.
"I kind of wondered where that British involvement actually was when I looked at their team.
"It's important that top clubs don't lose sight of the fact that it's the English Premier League and English players should be involved."
