Who are some players that when you think about, is quite shocking that they played for Arsenal.
Thomas Eisfeld
For the Older ones here
Clive Allen
0 Games
Julio Baptista
Junichi Inamoto.
Lassana Diarra
Came in, barely played. Sold to Portsmouth then Real Madrid.
Sébastien Squillaci
Steve Sidwell for me. I always associated him with Reading and a player who could potentially step up for a bigger club but he started his career at Arsenal.
I always forget John Hartson played for us.
Mesut Özil. I remember watching him during the World Cup and being so impressed with him before he went to Real Madrid, thinking man would love him at Arsenal but it probably won’t happen. He became my favourite non-Arsenal player for some time and I was absolutely shocked when we signed him. Regardless of how it panned out in the end, he will remain an important player who at his peak nearly won us the title (2016).
Sol Campbell.
According to a random news article I read, Havertz will be at Real Madrid by February. Currently, he is a player I’d like to lose. We still haven’t found his position.

Not really anymore but Gervinho for me was a surprise. Became a fifa fan before an arsenal fan. Fifa fans know the Gervinho, Ibarbo, Doumbia front line of terror. I was a few years into being an arsenal fan that I found out he played for us.
