Bacary Sagna (France)
Bacary Sagna has a great chance in South Africa as France have no other right-backs at his international level. The Arsenal player has virtually no competition for his place.

He learned his football in Sens and then integrated into the Auxerre youth academy, a famous place for French football. Initially, Sagna was a striker and played in second team at Auxerre, but his coach for one match decided to let him play right-back. Then Johan Radet (then left-back of Auxerre) had a serious injury and Sagna was called in 2004-05. He became a member of the starting XI at Auxerre and was drafted into the France Under-21 team that season, jumping from 4th division football to the young Les Bleus in the same year. He is now a consistent world-class player, even if he is not so strong technically. His offensive skills make him very important for Arsenal and the French national team.

Sagna only scored one goal in professional football during the 2007-2008 season.
