Having signed French-born Portugal Under-21 international midfielder Amaury Bischoff from Werder Bremen, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted the capture is something of a gamble.
He said of the 21-year-old: "Bischoff is a new player that is young and promising with talent.
“He has had a long break due to surgeries on his groin injury and we may have to wait two to three months for him to reach full fitness, and it is a gamble on his talent."
Bischoff was a youngster with French clubs SR Colmar and Strasbourg before moving to Bremen in 2005. He can play either in the centre of midfield or on the right, and was a regular at youth level for Werder.
He made just one senior appearance for the Bundesliga club, against Celta Vigo in the Uefa Cup in 2007.
Although he has played for France's Under-18 team, in 2007 he elected to train with Portugal and has appeared for their Under-21 side.
