What makes the perfect footballer? I doubt we’ll ever really know, although Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are probably pretty close.

In a somewhat bizarre interview, Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey was asked to mix and match body parts from his favourite stars in order to make the ultimate footballing machine, and one Liverpool star made the cut, as reported by Goal.
There were a few surprising inclusions, and more than a few shocking omissions.
I’m fairly sure if we put our heads together we could make a far better Frankenstein footballer than Aaron Ramsey, but check out what the Welsh midfielder believes is needed to make the best bionic star:
Head: Didier Drogba
The Chelsea star was really hard to handle in his prime, and was truly dominant in the air. It’s unsurprising that Ramsey has gone for the Ivorian, although his teammate Olivier Giroud might be a little put out.
Brain: Zinedine Zidane
The Frenchman is arguably one of the greatest footballers of all time, and was a true genius with a ball at his feet.
Leadership: Ashley Williams
The Swansea star is Ramsey’s international teammate, and has captained both club and country for a while. He is known for being vocal and a real leader.
Heart: Francis Coquelin
There are plenty of footballers with great heart, but the French midfielder has shown something special this season. He unfortunately contributed to Arsenal’s fine form in 2015, and really helped them secure top four.
Strength: Olivier Giroud
Another Arsenal teammate, the French forward is arguably lucky to make it into this list. He is certainly a strong and powerful striker, but there are plenty of dominant target men who boast similar traits.
Stamina: James Milner
Our new signing is known for his engine, and he is arguably the hardest working player in the Premier League. His work-rate is incredible, and it’s no surprise to see him make up part of the bionic footballer.
Pace: Gareth Bale
Another Welshman, Bale is a truly great athlete. He has a great mix of pace and power, and is able to leave his opponents in the dust.
Right foot: Aaron Ramsey
You can’t really blame him for putting himself in the mix, but there are thousands of footballers with better right feet than Aaron Ramsey.
Left foot: Lionel Messi
The diminutive Argentine is probably as close as you can get to the perfect footballer already, but if you were going to take one body part I suppose it would be his left foot.
