English clubs have set their sights and pounds on La Liga for years and specifically on the Spanish footballer. Silva, Mata, Xabi Alonso, Pedro, Torres, Cesc, Pablo Hernández… have made a career in the country where football was born, although it took time since its creation until a player born in Spain played for a Premier club. The pioneer was Mohamed Alí Amar, better known for Nayim and even more so for his goal for Zaragoza in the Cup Winners' Cup final against Arsenal. Nayim (Ceuta, 1966) came to the United Kingdom in 1998 from Barcelona.
