Full-back, winger, playmaker, set-piece king. Arca can do it all
The diminutive midfielder made his name at Sunderland, making more than 150 appearances for the Black Cats.
The former Argentinos Juniors player arrived at Boro for a fee of £1.75m in July 2006 and despite having his appearances limited by a series of frustrating injuries – he broke his toe in his first match the club – Arca has been one of the most creative influences at The Riverside in recent seasons.
Always a threat from set-pieces, the Argentinian under-21 international scored his first goal for the club in 2-0 win over Charlton in December 2006.
