Dimitar Berbatov AS MonacoSTAR MAN
Dimitar Berbatov
Every one of the former Tottenham Hotspur striker’s will be met with boos at the Emirates, but he won’t mind too much. Berbatov is Monaco’s leading scorer, having netted six times this season, and his creativity should not be overlooked either. The 34-year-old possesses exceptional ball control and is likely to play as a target man in north London, bringing pacey wingers Antony Martial and Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco into play.
