Bruno Cheyrou (born May 5, 1978 in Suresnes, France) is a professional football player for Rennes of the Ligue 1.

Career

After success with Lille OSC, where he scored against Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League, Cheyrou attracted interest from a number of clubs around Europe, most notably Liverpool. Gérard Houllier had the player scouted for several months by scout David Murray before deciding to sign him in the summer of 2002 for £4.5 million (€ 6.5m [http://www.uefa.com/FootballEurope/news/Kind=2/newsId=23906.html] ).

On signing him, Houllier dubbed Cheyrou the "new Zidane". Unfortunately, over time this tag proved to be a burden as he failed to live up to expectations.

A spell of four goals in five games over the Christmas period of the 2003/04 season at one time suggested his Liverpool career may make a turn for the better. Arguably, the highlight of Cheyrou's Liverpool career was the winning goal he scored in the 33rd minute at Chelsea in the 2003/04 season.

At the beginning of the 2004/05 season, new manager Rafa Benítez deemed Cheyrou surplus to requirements and immediately loaned him to Marseille in a season-long deal. He played 20 times for the club, scoring one goal. In the 2005/06 season, he was once again sent on a season-long loan, this time to Bordeaux, with a view to a permanent move; however, this failed to materialise.

Cheyrou currently plays for Rennes, where he has evolved into a more defensive role, becoming a holding midfield player.

He has been capped three times by the France national team, making his debut on August 21, 2002 in a 1-1 draw against Tunisia.

Personal life

Cheyrou has a younger brother, Benoît, who plays for Olympique de Marseille. Cheyrou and his wife Constance welcomed a son, Nino on January 23, 2007 in France.
