Gael Clichy believes restricting the number of foreigners in English football would not necessarily benefit the game in this country.
'Foreign quotas' has been a hot topic since Fifa president Sepp Blatter proposed starting XIs be restricted to just five overseas stars in order to nurture home-grown talent. But Clichy insists that a player's nationality is irrelevant; what matters is his quality.
"The nationality is not the main important thing, it is just the quality you want your team to play," Clichy told Arsenal TV Online. "The boss [Arsène Wenger] has made something great here, the way we like to entertain people, and I am sure that it doesn't matter for him.
"If you have to see about a player if they are English, French or Spanish, if he has the quality he will be in his team, and if not he wonÂ’t be in his team. Let the manager do the job.
"I think everyone is proud to say they play in the best league in the world because with all the players here and the English players we are making something good."
