My Football Hero: Ramiro Funes Mori

Ramiro Funes Mori is the latest Blue to fall under the spotlight in the My Football Hero series.

The Argentina international has been a keen follower of the Premier League since an early age - and the player he selected enjoyed a five-year stay in the English top division between 2009 and 2014.

That man is former Arsenal star Thomas Vermaelen, a defender who Funes Mori used to base his own game upon.

Now with Barcelona, Vermaelen has won 58 caps for Belgium and featured for his country at the 2014 World Cup.
