Striker
Park-Chu Young
With so many strikers failing to have had any impact in the past years at Arsenal, we are spoilt for choices to select two men to lead this line-up. But it is Park-Chu Young who makes the cut as one of the two strikers.
Park was signed by Wenger from Monaco in 2011 when the striker was close to completing a move to Lille. But his signing proved to be disastrous for the Gunners as the South Korean spent most of his three years as an Arsenal player on loan at various different clubs.
He made only 7 appearances for Arsenal, with just one coming in the Premier League scoring just one goal. He eventually was released by the club in 2014.
Striker
Francis Jeffers
Alongside the South-Korean, it is English striker Francis Jeffers who features in this line-up. Jeffers, aged 20 at that time, was brought in from Everton in the summer of 2001 for a fee around £8 million. Called the ‘Fox in the box’ by boss Wenger, he arrived with some reputation, having scored 18 Premier League goals in 40 games for the Toffees at such a young age.
However, his game was nowhere near the level needed to help his side challenge for Premier League and European glory. He also suffered injuries during his time in London and all in all was a flop signing scoring just eight goals for the Gunners in three years.
Here’s how the team lines up:
Substitutes:
Richard Wright (GK), Pascal Cygan, Johan Djourou, Abou Diaby, Junichi Inamoto, Gervinho, Nicklas Bendtner.
