    Striker of sorts - has scored 3 goals in the last 2 years. Marginally better than Ellington...

    Good International record...

    Mind you as BB suggests hardly played so how match fit will the bloke be?

    Also is that more than 5 loans now.

    Found out these bits about him:

    Strengths: He has prowess from dead-ball situations, good movement and his ability to out-sprint even the most speedy of defenders is impressive.
    Style: Powerful, quick and incisive, a natural predator.
    Quotes: "He knows that he must always be available. He is also remarkably strong in the air, despite his average size. He has very good timing."
    Weaknesses: Still must add consistency to his game and struggles in one-on-one situations.

    Well a bit of pace is better than nothing!

    Can the bloke stand up and be physical?

    Take away the lack of any playing time at Arsenal and his overall record for club and country isn't bad.

    Also with a World Cup coming up the guy will want to impress.

    Hopefully Deeney won't put the guy off by shouting at him after 2 minutes.

    May not have to pretend...

    I've been racking my brains trying to think if he is the first Korean to play for us - can't think of any others. Come to think of it, have we ever had any Asian players on the books?

    With his love of gambling, would not surprise me if Chopra had some Asian DNA in his gene pool!

    Sammy Chung played for us back in the early 60s. Think he was born in England and half Chinese.
