#6 Midfield: Cesc Fabregas
Trending
He was poached from Barcelona at the tender age of 16 in 2003, much to the chagrin of Barca fans. We would soon find out why. He was signed as a wonder kid and as one to watch out for in the future. But owing to an injury crisis in the Arsenal midfield, Arsene Wenger, in typical fashion, fast forwarded his progress and gave the youngster a chance in the Arsenal midfield. And the rest as they say, is history.
Fabregas consolidated his spot in the squad over the next season at the age of 17 and effectively replaced the great Patrick Vieira with great aplomb. With his silky moves and brilliant vision, he became a young star – the fulcrum around whom Wenger created his new post 'Invincibles' team. His excellent passing and intelligent movement led to him breaking records, becoming Arsenal's youngest ever player and goalscorer in the process.
He did not win much at Arsenal only winning one FA Cup but his skills and simple but genius play wowed hearts in and around the Emirates stadium, thus helping him beat some very tough competition in the form of Emmanuel Petit and Gilberto Silva to get a spot on this list.
