JULIO BAPTISTA
REAL MADRID

Nicknamed the "Beast", Cesar Julio Baptista was rewarded with a move to Real Madrid after a sterling first season for Sevilla.

Baptista made his name with Brazillian side Sao Paulo where he teamed with fellow young superstar in the making, Kaka of AC Milan.

In his first season with Sevilla he scored 20 times in 30 appearances and earned callups to the Brazillian National Team.

Loaned to Arsenal in the summer of 2006 but failed to setle in London nor make a huge impact with Arsenal and has gone back to Madrid.
