Arsenal v Fulham — Arsene Wenger rejected a chance to re-sign Fabregas

A product of La Masia, Cesc Fabregas brings the quintessential Spanish midfield idiosyncrasies to the ground and has played for some of Europe's finest. After starting off his professional career with Arsenal, Fabregas rides a chariot of wonders and creates chances at will.

What he lacks in physicality, he makes up for with his technique and unerring decision making. He is one of the most decorated individuals on the list. He has won 2 Premier League titles, 1 La Liga, 1 Club World Cup, 2 Euro Cups and 1 Fifa World Cup. He was the Premier League Player of the Year in the 2007/08 season and has been the assist leader in the 2007/08 with Arsenal and again in 2014/15 with Chelsea.
