Cesc has come a long way since joining the Club as a 16-year-old in September 2003.

He was tipped for greatness back then and has lived up to expectations: Cesc is now the captain and talisman of this Arsenal side and a World Cup winner with Spain.

Blessed with wonderful technique from an early age, Cesc has added steel and goals to his game since then. The adoption of a 4-3-3 formation liberated the captain and his stats sum up his influence - he scored 15 goals and created 15 more in the Premier League alone last term.

Cesc enhanced his reputation again in 2010 with the pass that set up Spain's World Cup Final winner. His next target? To lift a major trophy with his club.

The Cruyff turn
Named after 1970s Dutch legend Johan Cruyff, this is a great skill for shaking off an opponent, especially by the corner flag. Shape as if to pass or cross but instead drag the ball behind your standing leg with the inside of your foot, turn and then you are away.
