Arsenal’s all-time record goalscorer spent eight glorious years at the club where he won two league titles, three FA Cups and led the club to their one and only Champions League final.

He averaged an unbelievable 28 league goals a season for five consecutive seasons for the Gunners and looked set to stay at Arsenal when an unexpected turn of events saw him move to Barcelona for £21.60 million.

In some quarters one would suggest that it made business sense to cash in on a player entering the twilight of his career, but isn’t retaining the likes of Steven Gerrard, Ryan Giggs and John Terry that helps a club remain relevant.

The prodigal son did return for a short loan spell and rolled back the years with his first touch goal against Leeds in the FA Cup fixture. Its now only a figment of imagination what Arsenal could have achieved with him to build the team around with.
