#5 Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be a Gunner
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was on the verge of signing for the Gunners until Arsene Wenger decided to ask the controversial striker to undergo a trial at Highbury. Zlatan had in fact even posed in Arsenal colors and had stated that it would be his dream to join such an established force in England but was absolutely enraged at the fact that Wenger didn’t want to sign him outright.

“Arsene gave me the famous red and white jersey - the No 9 shirt with Ibrahimovic on it and I was so pleased I even posed for a picture wearing it. It was a fantastic moment for me,” said the Swedish striker.
“So then I waited for him to convince me that I should join Arsenal. But he didn't even try. He never actually made me a serious offer, it was more, 'I want to see how good you are, what kind of player you are. Have a trial'. I couldn't believe it. I was like, ‘No way, Zlatan doesn't do auditions’.” he went on to add.
Since then, Zlatan has gone on to represent Barcelona, Milan ,Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, scoring on a number of occasions against Wenger’s men.
