10 of the best Spanish players in the Premier League

#7 Santi Cazorla

Arsenal v Liverpool - Premier League — You just can't get enough of Cazorla on his best days

Cazorla is at the heart of Arsene Wenger's vision. Gifted with ambidextrous dribbling skills, Cazorla is an elite player all the fans around the world would love to have in their team. His knack for creating chances and weaving intricate networks of passes is second to none. The Spaniard shifted from an attacking/wide position to a deep lying central midfield role and became the centrifuge of the Gunner crib.

However, his injuries have stifled his chances of being one of the world's best midfielders. His being unavailable intermittently has seen Arsenal slip in and out of form. That is the kind of capability that comes packed in Cazorla's boots.
