Strengths: Villa is a consummate finisher. His clever movement, excellent touch and deadly aim allow him to exploit any chances granted to this most resolute and determined of characters, but he also selflessly contributes with a number of assists.
Weaknesses: Like many of his international team-mates, Villa lacks height and real physical presence.
Career high: Finishing Spain’s victorious Euro 2008 campaign as the tournament’s top scorer with four goals.
Career low: Missing the final due to a hamstring injury as Torres scored the goal that ended Spain’s 44-year wait for an international trophy.
Style: Deadly, elusive, explosive, a born goalscorer.
Quotes: “David is an amazing player – he has mobility, he scores goals and is brave. I would love to have him in my team at Arsenal. He’d be amazing in the English league.” Spain team-mate Cesc Fabregas, June 2008.
Trivia: Villa is a natural right-footer but a childhood accident which left his best leg in a cast allowed his father to encourage the young Villa to work on his left, meaning he is now virtually both-footed.
Soccernet says: Villa is a real contender for the Golden Boot award and with history to be made, expect him to shine in a Spain side that will provide him with no end of chances.
