He's the <b>World’s Top Goalscorer of 2007</b> according the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS). http://www.mcalcio.com/worlds-top-goalscorer-of-2007-by-the-international-federation-of-football-history-and-statistics-iffhs/ Phew that was long to type. <BLOCKQUOTE> Trésor Mputu, a 22-year old playing for Congolese club TP Mazembe Lubumbashi (sounds Japanese doesn’t it?), achieves his total of 20 goals by grabbing, among others, the topscorer title of the African Champions League and the African CAF Cup! This, according to IFFHS’s data, elects him World’s Top Goal Scorer of 2007. In case you’re wondering “Ok, but how good is this guy really?”, Mputu is already in the crosshairs of many European clubs, including Arsenal and Sevilla. He gets the personal thumbs up of Claude Le Roy, ex-manager of Cameroon and Congo, and who is now coaching the Black Stars of Ghana (in other words, someone who’s been around African soccer for quite a while). As a reminder, Le Roy was the one that launched Samuel Eto’o during the 1998 World Cup in France, when the Cameroonian was still only 17 years old.</BLOCKQUOTE> What do you know Chris?
