Arsene Wenger's All-Time Arsenal XI

#10 Lauren, RB

Arsenal v Chelsea

Lauren Bisan-Etame Mayer joined Arsenal from RCD Mallorca in 2000. The Cameroonian right-back was a relatively unknown talent when he joined the Gunners but went on to establish himself as a crucial member of their squad.

Lauren was initially unable to gain a regular place in the Arsenal starting eleven. It was while before he became the club's first-choice right-back, replacing Lee Dixon and Oleh Luzhny in the process. By the time Arsenal won the domestic double in 2001–02, Lauren was an integral part of the Arsenal defense.

As an Arsenal player, he won several trophies and best known as one of the 'Invincibles' squad. Lauren also played a vital part in helping Arsenal win three FA Cups during his time at the club.

The former Arsenal right-back is a great example of Arsene Wenger's keen eye for finding unknown talent and shaping them into great players.

#9 Tony Adams, CB

Arsenal v Everton - Premier League

Tony Adams spent his entire playing career, which lasted for 22 years, as a center back at Arsenal. He is considered to be one of the greatest Arsenal players of all time by the club's fans and was included in the FA's 'Football League 100 Legends.'

During his Arsenal career, he won four top flight division titles, three FA Cups, two Football League Cups, a UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, and two FA Community Shields. Adams remains the only player to captain his side to top-flight championships in three different decades!

Adams was one of a rare breed of footballers who were natural leaders. The defender faced numerous personal issues off the pitch, yet continued to hold his place as one of the world's top defenders at the time. The former Arsenal captain attributed much of his success to Arsene Wenger's management style and his influence on Adams' diet and habits.

#8 Sol Campbell, CB

FC Porto v Arsenal - UEFA Champions League

Sol Campbell is one of the few footballers to have left Tottenham Hotspur to join bitter North London rivals Arsenal. However, the English defender will always be fondly remembered by Arsenal fans for more than just his controversial transfer.

In his five years at Arsenal, he made 195 appearances, won two Premier League titles and two FA Cup medals, including the 2001–02 domestic double. Campbell was also a member of Arsenal's legendary 'Invincibles' squad that went undefeated in the 2003–04 Premier League campaign.

During his time at Arsenal under Arsene Wenger, Campbell was at the peak of his powers and became one of the best defenders in the world. Today, Arsenal continue to search for a defender in the mold of Sol Campbell, which shows the type of impact he had on the club.

#7 Ashley Cole, LB

Arsenal v FC Thun

Newer football fans could be forgiven for being unaware that famous English defender Ashley Cole was an Arsenal player before joining rivals Chelsea in 2006. Cole is considered one of the best defenders of his generation and was once hailed by many as the best left back in the world.

Cole began his youth career at Arsenal and made his full debut for the club in November 1999, going on to make 228 appearances and scoring nine goals for the North London club. He won two Premier League titles and three FA Cups with Arsenal and was an important part of the 2003-04 'Invincibles'.

Ashley Cole angered Arsenal fans by joining Chelsea in 2006 but is stillremembered for his stellar performances for the club. Cole was one of many Arsenal youth-products who were given their first big chance by Arsene Wenger.
