Armand Off To Managerless Orient

On the 21st of January 2013, a tall, young striker with a very long name was signed from little known French team, AS Poissy, who played in the Championnat de France amateur 2. This league serves as the fifth division of the French football league system behind Ligue 1, Ligue 2, Championnat National, and the Championnat de France amateur.

Prior to this, Gnanduillet played two seasons alongside now Premier League star Riyad Mahrezat at Le Havre B.

Almost three years on the Ivorian is set to sign for League Two Leyton Orient, a team he scored two past on the 2nd of January whilst at Stevenage. The O's are currently manager-less having today sacked manager Ian Hendon. Ian Hendon is the fifth boss to leave Leyton Orient since Italian Francesco Becchetti became owner in the summer of 2014.

Gnanduillet is on good form currently having scored four goals in his last five games and six goals in a sixteen game spell with Stevenage. The Ivorian has only started 26 games during his spell at Chesterfield since joining from AS Poissy after impressing on trial three years ago, but has come off the bench 56 times, scoring 10 goals.

Danny Wilson on Armand ''The decision is up to Armand and his agent to make, if it's a decision to stay here then great, I've no worries about that. 

If he decides to go, we wish him all the best and move on because I think we've got a lot of players in that position, we've got cover. In other positions we wouldn't be to eager to let players go but thankfully we've got cover there''

Here's the some of the highlights Armand has given us over the past three years.
