Arsenal Reserves striker Gilles Sunu has won the “Player Of The Tournament” award after playing for France Under 17’s in the Algarve tournament in January.
The giant forward, played as a left sided midfielder and scored two goals, and made various assists during the competition which was held in blistering conditions, however his fellow Arsenal team-mates, Kyle Bartley and Sanchez Watt walked away with the trophy after a 0-0 draw with hosts Portugal on the final day.
Watt and Bartley also featured against Gilles’s French side, and ran out 2-0 winners with both playing 40 minutes each as coach John Peacock rotated his side, due to the amount of games in a short period of time, Young Guns, offered coverage of the tournament, to read more about it Click Here.
The award was especially impressive, because Gilles has struggled all term with a left knee problem which many feel has hampered his progress, but he has managed to become a regular in Steve Bould’s Under 18’s side, and after starting off as a striker, Bould has slowly moved him back to a right sided play-maker position behind Rhys Murphy.
Gilles is expected to sign a new professional contract in the coming weeks, as Arsene Wenger looks to push the £2 million acquisition into the first team for next term after injuries stopped him from making the Emirates Cup and Carling Cup squads earlier this season.

Needs to score more goals, his work rate is good but you need more then that to be successful at Arsenal Football Club
do you actually think he will make the first team next year? how good is he (who would you compare him to)? he sounded like a good player when we buaght him jus aint seen him play
ps really gd site by the way!
i dont rate him atall he wont make it.We wasted 2mill on this guy
He will get a chance next season, this term has been difficult because he has had many injuries, and imo looks like he was rushed back, i agree with the poster above, that he needs to score more goals.
i take he will make the carling cup 11?
Adebayor is so selfish, had he passed the ball to Bendther then we woudn’t had this bad run. It’s time for him to rest and let’s start with Bendther and Van Persie.
hard to see him feature for the first team.
I am very suprised to see that an English player did not win the award considering we won the Algarve Tournament with ease, as for Giles Sunu winning it i cannot understand that
Alex. I think it kind of harsh to blame that moment against Birmingham for all of our 8 lost points. However, I agree with your frustration about Adebayor.
Sanderson, you refer to Sunu as a “giant” whilst I was under the impression he is fairly short. I’m almost certain he is under 6 foot.
Where we tonight shall camp?….The top blogs of the day. the newest report , see and reply me some comments. Thanks.
gilles is 181cm according to wikipedia, he is strong and powerful
i actually dont know about this guy, but if mr. wenger promote him to the first team, he knows better why he did so, i wish him all the best in gunners shirt
