5) Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal to Barcelona)
First raided by Arsenal from the youth ranks of Barcelona at just 15 years of age, it was always felt that Cesc Fabregas could return to the Nou Camp in the future. After being given the chance to shine under Arsene Wenger, the Spaniard established himself as one of the best midfielders in Europe as he became a regular for the Gunners at just 17, and then club captain at just 21. A superb talent, Barcelona put in a great effort to lure him back to Catalunya for around £25m, before selling him on just three years later, as he sealed a controversial return to the Premier League with Chelsea.
