HEIMIR Hallgrímsson's latest call-up John Joe Patrick Finn is aiming to become the SECOND Ireland international to win a major honour with French side Stade de Reims.

The 21-year-old is in the squad for tonight's French Cup final against PSG.

The Madrid-born youngster has already made 16 appearances for Reims since his January move from Primera Liga side Getafe.

And his starting role in last Wednesday's relegation play-off first-leg away to Metz - a 1-1 draw - suggests that he might get a run out tonight in the Stade de France.

The midfielder, who goes by the name John Patrick at his club and qualifies for Ireland through his Mayo dad, made his Reims debut last January against PSG.

He impressed in the 1-1 draw at the Parc des Princes, and has featured in the starting-11 in eight of his 16 games to date.
