Bright Bordeaux future for Obertan

Friday, August 3, 2007

FC Girondins de Bordeaux have secured the services of their talented teenager Gabriel Obertan by extending the winger's contract by two years until June 2011.

Breakthrough
Bordeaux were keen to tie down the 18-year-old who made his mark at the Ligue 1 club last season with 17 league appearances and three outings in the UEFA Champions League. Obertan also scored his first senior goal in a 2-0 victory at AS Saint-Etienne in April. The forward, who has been compared to Thierry Henry, is expected to join the France Under-21 squad this term and will also be hopeful of gaining more European experience with Bordeaux in the UEFA Cup.
