ExtraFootie has been on a scouting mission to find the next player to emulate the likes of Kaka, Messi and Ronaldo, and we think we've found him in the shape of Frenchman Remi Gaillard.

We have already personally alerted several of Europe's biggest clubs to the abilities of the Montpellier-born star, and many of them have responded to let us know they will break the bank in January for the talented player.

Gaillard's undoubted talents have caught the interest of the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Manchester City, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Chelsea and AC Milan...oh and of course Notts County.

If you would like to judge the wizards talent for yourself just take a look at the video below.



Outrageous abilities indeed, though a problem has already emerged as several teams have come up with a way to stop Gaillard from scoring goals aplenty, by simply placing empty beer cans on top of both their corner flags.

The teams mentioned above have since shirked their interest in the player after finding out he is a 34-year-old prankster who is known for breaking security measures to appear at high profile events.

One of Gaillard's more famous pranks was to disguise himself as a Lorient player and sneak onto the pitch during the 2002 Coupe de France final.

He took part in the celebrations and even got to meet and shake hands with then President of France Jacques Chirac.

Despite that there is no denying that Gaillard has phenomenal ability to pass a ball to wherever he wants, and even though his football video's are designed to entertain, there could be few arguments if he were called up to the France squad to take on the Republic of Ireland in November. Watch out Trapattoni!

Disclaimer: ExtraFootie would like to point out that the clubs mentioned above have never shown any interest in Gaillard, they are too busy readying bids for former Manchester United stalwart Karl Power.
