4 Players Who Almost Played For Arsenal, But Ended Up Legends Elsewhere

Arsene Wenger

Arsenal are having a pretty quiet transfer season with just Petr Cech being the only marquee signing. It is believed that Karim Benzema, Alexander Kokorin or Edinson Cavani could make a switch to the Emirates. Also, if rumors are to be believed Sevilla midfielder could also join the Gunners for the next season. However, we take a throwback and take a look at the players who could have joined Arsenal.

Zlatan Ibrahimović:

Oh boy! Talking about controversial moves and ignoring Zlatan is nothing short of a crime. During Zlatan’s days at his boyhood club Malmo, a reported fee of 3 million euros was struck by the Gunners. Everything was going as per plan and the Gunners’ boss Arsene Wenger asked the Swede to play a trial match to which Zlatan replied “Zlatan doesn’t do auditions”. A nineteen year old striker responding to an “Invincible” winning boss surely made Wenger mad and the Frenchman decided to sign Guy Demel, who plays as a right back for London rivals West Ham.
