		Born in Dieppe in 1970, Emmanuel showed at an early age he was an independent spirit and someone who will, undoubtedly, take the move to Highbury in his stride.

		Emmanuel Petit has already won pretty much all there is to win in the game, including the English Double, though that in the red shirt of Arsenal rather than the blue of Chelsea.
		Petit’s all-action style is made for the hurly burly of the English game, his pace, stamina, strength and vision combining to make him pretty much the perfect midfielder.
		Petit came to prominence in England under Arsene Wenger’s management at Highbury when he was perhaps unlucky not to have won more praise than he’s received, playing as he did in the shadow of the likes of Bergkamp and Overmars, players who caught the air with their pace and quality in front of goal.
