Carlos Vela - remember the name.
Most football fans you meet nowadays know very little outside of their Rooney's and Ronaldo's (excuse readers of this blog, who obviously have a fine grasp on the game).
Vela is the latest light to illuminate Arsene Wengers reputation, a Mexican with a left foot to die for.
One of his goals against Sheffield Utd in the last round of the Carling Cup was one of the best I have ever seen - lobbing the keeper (Paddy Kenny?) from short range - pure genius.
I haven't even seen his goal tonight, but no doubt the youngster has given the genius Wenger a selection headache
Wenger, sent the Mexican Vela out on loan last season to Real Osasuna and the teenager was regularly the best player on view.
Had he been English ala Walcott, Vela would have had his chance by now, but his Carling Cup magic and one of the best left foots in the modern game will make Vela a star in 2009.
Have a speculative punt on Mexico to perform well in 2010 World Cup @80/1
