2. Cesc Fabregas

Another Spain star contesting the Confederations Cup, ex-Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas has been linked with a move back to North London and could sensationally return to England this summer despite claims made by the midfielder himself that he's going nowhere. That's according to former Gunners vice-chairman David Dein at least, who remarked, when pressed on the possibility of Cesc's return to the Premier League: "You can never say never in football." Indeed, Fabregas himself recently described as "absurd" the very notion that he is about to quit Barcelona, his boyhood club, but then, stranger things have happened in football and there's no doubting Wenger would love to be reunited with his former protégé. Fabregas was one of Arsenal's most creative players throughout his eight-year stay in North London and created 100 assists for his teammates. After joining as a fresh-faced 16-year old in 2003, he was named as the successor to William Gallas as captain in 2008 and scored 57 times for the club.
