Equally dangerous with either foot, Villa has attracted a host of top clubs, who are all eager to sign-up the prolific striker.
Kaka : Brazilian midfield maestro Kaka, is a playmaker of the highest calibre. Able to make pinpoint passes across the entire length of the field, or dribble past several players in a row, Kaka was the darling of AC Milan and led them to “Champions League” glory in 2007.
