Clément Chantôme (born September 11, 1987 in Sens) is a French footballer who currently plays for French club Paris Saint-Germain.

[edit] Career

Rising through the ranks of PSG's youth academy, his appearances have already drawn likenesses to Didier Deschamps in terms of his determination and ballwinning ability.

A strong midfield player, the wonderkid was offered a three year contract by then Paris St. Germain manager Guy Lacombe in September of 2006, and has since made consistent appearances in the struggling club's first team.

Of all players likely to hold a long-term future with PSG, Chantome looks a good chance to retain his spot and develop further into a player of real class. His call-up to France's U/21 squad in October of 2006 is testament to the regard in which he is held by the FFF.

He has recently been linked with a move to Arsenal and according to Sky Sports a move is imminent^[1]^[2].
