It would be ace if his first name was Robin and he had ginger chest hair.

23 years of age but apparently a "prospect" - 6 goals in Ligue 1 last year. Smells like the French Bentdner. Scores a few good goals - good finishing - but 'few' being the operative word

We're replacing the mediocre N'gog with another mediocre French
 
Roux's emergence at the top level of French football has an air of inevitability about it, given his family history. His father, Bruno, enjoyed a playing career in the French league spanning almost 25 years, which included a spell at Paris St Germain.

However, Nolan Roux has certainly had to earn his opportunity to shine. As a youth player, he had spells at Caen and Beauvais before finally settling at Lens, where he made his professional debut. He made a single appearance for Lens, coming on as a second half substitute in a second division game against Metz in September 2008. Lens released Roux at the end of the 2008/9 season and may just be regretting that decision.

His career has blossomed rapidly since joining Brest. His speed and knack of being in the right place at the right time served him very well last season. His fifteen goals and five assists were a major factor in Brest securing promotion to the top division. He was rewarded with a call up to the France under-21 side, promptly scoring a brace on his debut against Croatia.

Talking after his international introduction, Roux made it all sound very simple, commenting, "The coach told me not to ask any questions and that's what I did, I like new challenges and behind me, others gave me good passes."

Over the summer, Lyon were closely linked to Roux, but decided not to make a bid in the end. Since then, he has made France's top division also appear simple this term. Three goals in ten games have helped Brest to the top of Ligue Un. As a result, he is a player in demand.

Roux has no apparent big weakness in his game. He is quick, strong and in that sense has every chance of adapting to the physical nature of English football. His speed off the ball enables Roux to find space on the attack and is partly responsible for his ability to arrive in the box at the right time. When he is presented with an opportunity, Roux usually takes it. He is a threat on goal from pretty much any range and any angle, not to mention the aerial danger that he poses, despite not being the tallest of strikers. He is particularly lethal when the ball is played in from out wide and he has a chance to shoot instinctively on goal.

If there is a weakness to Roux's game, it would be his technique which could perhaps do with some improvement. He may be very quick without the ball at his feet, but he is slowed down when in possession as he lacks the technical ability which would enable him to dribble or glide past players.

However, this is something that Roux might pick up or develop as his career progresses. The fact that he is a versatile player indicates that he has the footballing ability to diversify and improve different aspects of his game. In addition to playing as an all-out striker, Roux can be deployed on the right-side of a three man attack, or just behind another striker, where he is clever enough to carve out chances for his strike partner.

Roux has enjoyed a rapid rise to the top over the last year or so. Whether his career will continue to progress at such a rate will largely depend on whether he can maintain his current form or not. So far, he has tested himself against the best defenders in France only over the start of this season. He will have to prove himself against them for a consistent period of time before he can really be regarded as a top prospect.
