If there’s one thing Wenger is good at, it’s spotting young talent. Or at least that’s what Arsenal would have us believe.

Sure, the Frenchman has blooded in a host of talent during his 20 years as boss. But what about those he could have signed but didn’t, who have blossomed into the Zlatans, Ronaldos, Toures and Martials of today’s game?

And it does not stop there. Wenger once said that he could have signed Didier Drogba for a meagre fee of just £100,000 when the striker was at Le Mans. Apparently, he didn’t feel, the now Chelsea legend, was good enough for Arsenal.

To date, no one has scored more goals against Wenger’s Gunners than the Ivorian.
