Argentine youngster Emiliano Insua is fast becoming a regular on the left side of Liverpool's defence.
Insua arrived from Boca Juniors in January 2007 on an 18-month loan deal which was eventually made permanent.
His first-team debut came against Portsmouth on April 28, 2007, though much of the following season was spent helping the reserves win the league.
It wasn't until 2008-09 that Insua began cementing his place in Rafa Benitez's first-team plans, notching 13 appearances despite competition from Fabio Aurelio and Andrea Dossena.
He has continued to impress in 2009-10 and Insua scored his first goal for Liverpool with a long-range volley in the Carling Cup fourth round tie with Arsenal at the Emirates.
Noted for his attacking prowess, he won his first cap for Argentina in the dramatic World Cup qualifier with Peru on October 10, 2009.
