To fully compliment creative players, you need to surround them by equally inventive players. We have seen it over the years with the likes of Thierry Henry, Robert Pires and Freddie Ljungberg at Arsenal, as well as Dennis Bergkamp, and at the club right now sits Santi Cazorla, Mesut Ozil and Tomas Rosicky. Now, as they continue their search for a striker in the new year, the Daily Mail are linking them with a move to Fulham forward Dimitar Berbatov – a player renowned for his creativity.
His nonchalant style of play is truly remarkable to watch and when he’s on song there are few that can match what he does with the ball. His tricks, flicks and pieces of skill are all carried out with the maximum of flair and would fit perfectly into the Gunners set up, in my opinion.
The way he strolls about the pitch and connects with the midfield is pulled off to such effect some have labelled him as one of the most underrated players in world football, and it’s hard to disagree.
The group of players he is currently playing with aren’t anywhere near the calibre that Arsene Wenger has control over at the Emirates and a move to north London from west could really get the best out of him.
Did I mention he can score goals, too? He scored 15 league goals for the Cottagers last season.
