#4 Sol Campbell and Kolo Toure
Former England and Arsenal defender Sol Campbell once said that Kolo Toure was worth his weight in gold. The Ivorian is certainly one of the most underrated defenders to wear the famous red and white. Starting out at as a defensive midfielder, Arsene Wenger made the bold decision to move Toure to central defence, where he would partner Campbell for the 2003/04 season. And what a year that was to remember for Arsenal fans.
During that season, the duo had conceded just 12 Premier League goals in 19 games, whilst going unbeaten for the whole league campaign. Toure’s pace and power made the Ivorian a standout performer for the Gunners that season.
"Kolo has been fantastic. He's come in and proved to be worth his weight in gold,” said Campbell. “He's adapted well to the position and gone from strength to strength. Everybody looked at why we didn't buy any players last summer but we're happy at how things have gone.”
