1. Tomas Rosicky
He has slipped under the radar for almost his entire career at the Emirates and only now is he starting to receive the praise he deserves. In a squad full to the brim with midfield talent, his contribution can often go unnoticed.
This season he has impressed with his fantastic work rate and his ability to make things happen from midfield. He is not called ‘Little Mozart’ for nothing – he is technically outstanding. So far this season, the 33-year-old has been in and out of the Arsenal team, playing in just three full matches, but his ability has been utilised in most of the club’s big games.
His link up play is truly excellent. In his 18 appearances the 33-year-old has created 19 chances for his team mates and netted on one occasion himself – this strike was recently voted as February goal of the month.
A perfect mix of attributes make Rosicky an exceptional midfield player. He remains one of the longest serving players at the club and, still, he is one of Wenger’s most dependable first-team options.
