Jérémie Aliadière
Jérémie Aliadière (born 30 March 1983) is a French footballer who plays as a striker for Qatari side Umm Salal.
As a graduate of the elite Clairefontaine academy, he signed for Arsenal aged 16. After making his Premier League debut in the 2001–02 season, he ultimately had limited opportunities, partly due to injury. For the 2005–06 season he was loaned to three clubs, Celtic in the Scottish Premier League, West Ham United in the Premier League, and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Football League Championship, before returning to Arsenal for another season, featuring in the 2007 Football League Cup Final loss to Chelsea. At the beginning of the 2007–08 season he was sold to Premier League club Middlesbrough for £2.5 million, where he spent the next three seasons, two in the Premier League and the last in the Championship, before electing not to extend his contract and leaving the club in June 2010.
Club career
Arsenal
Aliadière signed for Arsenal at the age of 16 before the beginning of the 1999–2000 season.
He made his Premiership debut for Arsenal against Fulham in the 2001–02 season, replacing Thierry Henry in a 4–1 victory. That game was his only league appearance that season, meaning he wasn't eligible for a medal as Arsenal won the 2001-02 FA Premier League. He scored his first goal for the club the following season, in a 5–2 victory over West Bromwich Albion on 27 August 2002.
