Tomas Rosicky, Arsenal
England, welcome Robert Pires' replacement at Arsenal. And what a replacement he is!
Even if he is a new face in the Premier League, football fans know what he is capable of; they have seen his two sensational goals against the United States in the World Cup.
The Czech midfielder -- who joined the English club in May this year from Dortmund, where he was nicknamed 'Dumpling' after his favourite dish, Bohemian Dumplings -- has football in his blood. His father Jiri was a famous player for the former Czechoslovakia.
And the 25-year-old Rosicky is all fired up about joining the Gunners: 'Arsenal are the best club in Europe and I will give everything,' he has said.
