Tomas Rosicky

An experienced midfield player who signed for Arsenal in the summer of 2006. A skilful midfield playmaker with the ability to open up opposition defences, Tomas has struggled with injuries at times, causing him to miss the whole of the 2008-09 campaign.

He enjoyed a much better time in 2010-11 when he featured regularly in the matchday squad in the first half of the campaign and captained the side in the absence of Cesc Fabregas.

However, his injury problems returned and he only featured occasionally in the New Year. In 2011-12 he was in and out of the side in the first half of the season but produced some storming performances from February onwards when he was one of the key members of the team.

Before joining the Gunners Tomas enjoyed a successful career with Sparta Prague and Borussia Dortmund. He made his international debut for the Czech Republic as a teenager and has now won close on 90 caps for his country.
