Emmanuel made a major breakthrough last season, stepping in at right back to great effect after Lauren underwent surgery on his knee.
The Ivorian earned rave reviews for his energetic performances, both defensively and as an attacking presence on the flank where he forged a useful partnership with Alexander Hleb.
Emmanuel, who joined from Beveren in January 2005, scored with a long-range effort in the Carling Cup at Sunderland and went on to make 32 appearances in all competitions. He was one of the stars of Arsenal's Champions League run, memorably keeping Robinho quiet over two legs against Real Madrid.
Emmanuel's progress at club level has earned him greater recognition on the international scene. He is now a regular for Ivory Coast and was part of the team which reached the African Cup of Nations final and made a good impression at the World Cup in Germany.
Predominantly a right-back, Emmanuel can also operate at centre-half and even in midfield. His pace, strength and skill makes him a versatile member of Arsène Wenger's squad.
