One of the many Spanish stars currently plying their trade at Anfield - Versatile full back able to play on both sides of the pitch
Spain international Arbeloa is a typical Rafa Benitez signing: skilful, consistent and versatile. He is able to play either full-back position competently, although he favours the right.
Arbeloa began his career at Real Zaragoza, before signing for Real Madrid at just 16. He worked with youth team coach Benitez at the Bernabeu, but struggled to make an impression and moved on to Deportivo La Coruna in July 2006.
Six month later, in January 2007, Benitez brought him to Anfield. Since then he’s put in some superb performances in red and won his first cap for Spain in March 2008.
