The French Connection: Pablo Chavarria - The Argentine journeyman who found a home at Reims

The South American striker is one of a number of high-profile foreign imports taking Ligue 1 by storm after laying his hat in France

At 30 years old, success has not been quick to come to Reims striker Pablo Chavarria.

Yet two weeks into the Ligue 1 season, the striker has helped lift his club to the top of the table with a perfect six points alongside Paris Saint-Germain.

Although the Champagne club stormed to the Ligue 2 title last season with a record number of points and wins, they were not expected to make such a strong start to life in the top-flight.
