Career & Clubs

Club career

Wreh played domestically for Invincible Eleven, before signing for French Division 1 club Monaco as a youth. A center forward, Wreh played for Monaco as a substitute in the 1993–94 UEFA Champions League semi-final. He had a spell on loan at Guingamp, finishing the season as the team's top scorer and playing in the 1997 Coupe de France Final, which they lost on penalties to Nice. Wreh signed for Arsenal in the summer of 1997 for £300,000, linking up with his former manager at Monaco, Arsène Wenger. Although fourth choice behind Ian Wright, Dennis Bergkamp and Nicolas Anelka, Wreh still played an important part in the Gunners' Double-winning 1997–98 season. Wreh scored in 1–0 Premier League wins against Wimbledon and Bolton Wanderers in March, the fifth in a 5–0 win against Wimbledon, and netted the only goal of the Gunners' FA Cup semi-final win over Wolverhampton Wanderers both in April. Wreh started in the 1998 FA Cup Final, and although he did not score, Arsenal beat Newcastle United 2–0. Despite scoring in the 1998 FA Charity Shield against Manchester United, Wreh's form dipped and, after the arrival of Thierry Henry and Davor Šuker at the club in 1999, he was squeezed out altogether. He had brief loan spells with Birmingham City, for whom he scored once, against Grimsby Town, and at AEK Athens and Den Bosch, but none of these were subsequently made permanent. He left Arsenal in 2000, having scored five times in 46 appearances. Wreh then became somewhat of a journeyman…
