#7 Samir Nasri
For his short frame, Samir Nasri’s playing style came closest to his legendary compatriot Zinedine Zidane. Nasri’s slick passing, ability to play wide as well as centre and close control made him a quintessential Arsenal player.
After a start-stop life in the Arsenal colours in the first two seasons, the young French international, re-captured form in the 2010-11 season. His consistent performances were rewarded by three Fans’ Player of the Month awards and also earned him a place in the Team of the Year.
The inevitable happened again when cash-rich Manchester City would lay eyes on him and he was sold off to the Citizens for a reported £25 million. Plying his talent, Nasri would secure two Premier League titles with the blues of Manchester, presenting another case of lost opportunity for Arsenal.
