The 26-year-old has been in outstanding form for the French club over the past four seasons, firing 91 league goals, and Silvestre reckons he would be a big hit in north London.

The former Arsenal, Manchester United and France star told talkSPORT of his fellow countryman: "He is very active, he can play both sides, technically he is very gifted and he has been scoring 25, 30 goals for the last four years in the French league so he is a proven goalscorer.
