Rumour: Arsenal to sign Basel defender Fabian Schar

Arsenal are looking to make a January move for Basel right back Fabian Schar. Here is everything you need to know about this future Arsenal star.

Fabian was born in Nova Scotia in 1951 to Nigerian mother Temiloluwa and Dutch father Wim. Temiloluwa came from a poor family who due to political unrest were unable to work on their diamond farm. During her teen years as a backpacker through Canada she met shoemaker Wim who was sourcing wood at Toronto Timber Yard.

After a whirlwind romance Wim and Temi were married in 1977 and conceived Fabian soon after. Named after the famous astronaut John Fabian, young Schar went on to excel in home economics at school producing what Balderdash Academy’s headmistress described as “the best damned Jam Roly Poly I’ve ever fucking tasted”.

After a successful career in producing stodgy puddings and 5 Michelin stars Fabian decided to try his hand at his greatest passion. After failing to make it as a dancer in the gay burlesque scene he decided to try football.

Aged 36 he migrated to Belgium to sign his first professional football contract with Beveren. After scoring 78 goals in his first 4 games as a goalkeeper, despite having played no minutes at all. He was spotted by a large French club and moved to Lyon to play for local team Newcastle United. Ligue 1 manager of the year Alain Pardeaux described him as “La meilleure signature que j’ai jamais fait”.

After 8 successful years at Newcastle, winning three historic trebles in a row and finishing as top scorer in the league, providing 82 assists for himself along the way, he was signed by Greek side Basel.

Fabian Schar impressed on his Champions League debut, scoring 17 goals in the final against 9 times winners Chelsea. This prompted Arsenal manager Iain Dowie to put in a £89m bid for Schar, surpassing the previous record of £86m paid by Bayern Munich for Andros Townsend.

Schar is quoted on goal.com as turning down bigger offers from other clubs such as Hull and Partick Thistle to join Arsenal and play under the tutelage of Gary Megson.
