#3 Lassana Diarra
Many people forget Lassana Diarra moved to Arsenal from Chelsea. The French midfielder was a highly sought-after talent when he made his move to the Bridge in 2005. Despite his reputation, Diarra enjoyed little success at Chelsea. The Frenchman struggled to break into a star-studded Chelsea midfield but still won the FA Cup and the League Cup.
Following a lack of first-team opportunities, the Frenchman moved to Arsenal in 2007. It's fair to say that the transfer didn't work out as well as how both parties wanted. Diarra just spent five months at Emirates before moving to Portsmouth in 2008.
#4 William Gallas
William Gallas is one of the few players to have played for the three biggest teams in London. The Frenchman started his Premier League career in Chelsea and was one of the last players to arrive at Stamford Bridge before the Abramovich takeover. Alongside John Terry, Gallas formed an impressive central defensive pairing as Chelsea won the FA Cup and back-to-back title under Jose Mourinho.
After more than 200 appearances for the Blues, Gallas joined Arsenal following wage disputes over his proposed new contract. The Frenchman never experienced any titles success at Emirates but was one of the best players for the Gunners during his tenure.
The defender played over 100 times for the North London side and captained the team for over a season. Contract disputes over his new wages once again meant Gallas moved on to a new club 2010.
William Gallas went on to sign for Spurs and spent three seasons there before joining A-league side Perth Glory before retiring from the game in 2014.
#5 George Graham
Yes, the legendary Arsenal player and manager moved to Highbury from Chelsea. Graham joined Chelsea from Aston Villa in 1964. The striker had two impressive seasons at Stamford Bridge and even ended the 1965-66 season as the club's top scorer. But, things were not rosy off the field.
The players and manager Tommy Docherty often clashed with each other. In one such instance, several players were sent home for breaking a pre-match curfew.
After two tumultuous seasons, Graham moved to Arsenal in 1966. The striker quickly established himself in the Arsenal lineup. Graham was a key figure in the Arsenal side that won the League, League Cup, and Inter-Fairs Cities Cup in the early 1970s.
He was the club's top scorer for two successive seasons but lost his place following the arrival of Alan Ball. George Graham spent seven seasons at Arsenal, made 308 appearances, and scored 78 goals before leaving the club in 1972.
Graham would play for Manchester United, Portsmouth, Crystal Palace, and NASL side California Surf before retiring in 1978.
