	uefa.com - UEFA Champions League - Players - wiltord (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Sylvain Wiltord's strength, pace and powerful shooting have brought him success throughout his career down the centre or on the wing.
		Wiltord missed just four league games, scoring ten times, in 2002/03 as Arsenal enjoyed more success with an FA Cup victory, but in 2003/04 he lost his place and was released after another title-winning campaign.
		Wiltord made his France debut against England in February 1999 and the following year ingrained himself in French folklore with the late equaliser against Italy in the final of UEFA EURO 2000™ which paved the way for victory.

		Now in his 30s, Sylvain Wiltord has a few years left in the tank, but will perhaps always be remembered best for squeezing France's last-minute equaliser past Francesco Toldo in the final of Euro 2000.
		Wiltord also objected to being played on the right wing, and chose not to sign a new deal with the English Champions’ last year.
		Houllier duly took command in the summer 2005 and is thought to have made a 'clear-the-air' chat with Wiltord one of his first tasks.

	The Sun Online - Football: Sylvain fears Gunners axe
		But Wiltord believes his name is also on the hit-list with Arsenal determined to trim the payroll to ease the heavy burden of building a new ground.
		Wiltord has slid down the Arsenal pecking order since his arrival in a blaze of publicity from French side Bordeaux in the summer of 2000.
		Wiltord looks likely to be the next casualty and the biggest name to pay the price for the downturn in soccer's fortunes.

		Wiltord, who has been in excellent form since he joined from English champions Arsenal in the close season, scored from close range early on from a cross by Sidney Govou.
		Wiltord, who was a second-half substitute in Tuesday's 2-1 Champions League defeat at Manchester United, was also instrumental in Lyon's second goal scored by Juninho.

	Scotland on Sunday - Sport - Sylvain's style set to music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Sylvain Wiltord says he plays from the heart and does not want to be anchored to a particular position within a team.
		Wiltord’s attitude has helped him to become a major figure in the Highbury dressing-room: he has a passion for hard work and altruistic play, which has overcome early doubts encouraged by his apparent nonchalance.
		Wiltord has not forgotten his old coach or the lessons that he learned at his first club.

	Wiltord, Arsenal in deadlock: Sport: Soccer: News24
		London - French striker Sylvain Wiltord said on Monday he wanted to stay at English Premiership side Arsenal despite the fact they were arguing over a new contract.
		Wiltord wants a substantial increase on his wages, thought to be in the region of £20 000 pounds a week, and Arsenal may be forced to sell him rather than let his contract expire next June.
		He will then be eligible for a free transfer under the Bosman ruling, whereas if they cash in now, he could fetch around £3.5 million in a much-deflated transfer market.

		"Wiltord is like a big brother to me, and he could have helped me settle in", Cisse added.

		The hero for the Gunners was Sylvain Wiltord who hit a first-half hat-trick against an under-strength Hammers side.
		Wiltord bagged his second in the 13th minute after he chested the ball down which then bounced off the unfortunate Pearce to set up Wiltord perfectly for a cracking 15-yard shot past the hapless Hislop.
		His third and final strike came in the 37th minute when Fredrik Ljungberg played through a perfect pass for Wiltord to run on to and nudge past the advancing Hislop for his 11th goal of the season.

		Following a successful spell with AS Monaco, Wiltord was keen to move to Arsenal in search of silverware and was encouraged by the impact made by his French team-mates Petit, Vieira and Henry at Highbury.
		Wiltord's biggest asset is his blistering pace which he uses to good effect as a central target man or in wide positions.
		Wiltord's first season in the Premiership got off to a slow start, with fans initially questioning the large outlay on a striker that was hardly setting Highbury alight.

	Sylvain Wiltord (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Wiltord is a very fast striker, with a quick powerful shot.
		I was surprised that Wenger paid £13million for him, when we already have Henry, Bergkamp and Kanu, but Wenger is rarely wrong when judging the potential of strikers.
		Wiltord could be the next Wenger super-buy, but first he has to make the striking place alongside Henry his own.

		Après une saison dans l’axe, en remplacement du brésilien Elber, Sylvain s’exprime de nouveau pleinement dans une position d’attaquant excentré où il fait parler ses qualités de buteurs et de provocateurs, tout en participant activement aux tâches défensives.
		Après avoir débuté la saison comme "remplaçant" de Govou, Wiltord a peu à peu pris le dessus sur son coéquipier, surtout dans la course à l’équipe de France.
