Robert Pires - The invincibles
It isn’t a norm for a Premier League club to have the feeling of it belonging in another country. Arsenal though have a massive French appeal, more so because of the ‘professor’ in charge, Arsene Wenger. The Gunners manager has seen a lot of game time with Arsenal and has seen many top talents come and go in the colours of Arsenal.
Wenger is known for his ability to spot a talent and then nurture them to become better. We all remember how he saved Henry from the nightmare that was Juventus and how he brought out the player in Cesc Fabregas. We look back at some of the top talents that have graced the London team right after being signed by Wenger from Ligue 1. This list only consists of some players from the recent era and not take a look right through the history of Ligue 1 players at Arsenal.
3. Alexandre Song
This might be a tough one to crack, Song didn’t leave the club in the best on circumstances with a move to Barcelona, but he was a good player for Arsenal during his time there. The Cameroonian was one of the best defensive midfielders when he was on ‘song’, sorry for the pun. Signed from Bastia in 2006 after a loan spell in London, Song slowly but surely asserted his place in the midfield and his great performances caught the eye of many suitors, one of them was Barcelona, unfortunately that did not go as planned and Song recently played a season on loan at West Ham United.
2. Gael Clichy
Another player who didn’t leave Arsenal in the best of fashions, Clichy was one of the most consistent Arsenal players to have come through Ligue 1. He now plays for Manchester City but was brought into the Premier League by the Gunners in 2003 and stayed at the club till 2011. A good defender blessed with speed, Clichy still has a lot to offer and unfortunately for Arsenal fans, he can only be seen in the sky blue of Manchester City.
1. Robert Pires
Certainly one of the best players to have graced the jersey of the Gunners, Pires joined the club from one of the biggest French clubs, Marseille. He joined Arsenal in 2000 and was one of the reasons why the Gunners won the Premier League twice and he also won 3 FA Cups with the team. He was so good in the team and was always a popular figure. He was even voted as the sixth greatest player for Arsenal of all time by the fans. The World Cup winner left the club in 2006, but he hasn’t left the hearts of any fans.
