We
all know that Arsenal is one of the biggest club in the World and they have
produced many great players for many different positions. I have already published
articles on defenders and strikers, this time it is about midfielders.
Here
are the top five midfielders of Arsenal.
In
2003, Arsenal signed a wonder kid who later became the captain of Arsenal.
Fabregas became the youngest player ever to play for the Gunners in a FA Cup
match in 2003, he was just 16-year-old that time. He
played eight seasons in which he made more than 300 appearances for them. In
2011, he decided to return to his childhood club Barcelona.
4. Fredrik Ljungberg (1998-2007)
Ljungberg
joined Arsenal in 1998 from Swedish side Halmstad. Arsenal paid £3 million for
him. The 36-year-old played 336 games for the Gunners in his nine years of
stay. Ljungberg was the part of the invincible squad.
3. Robert Pires (2000-2006)
Another
invincible in this list who was one of the best Arsenal player. His ability
of cutting in to take a shot or to put a cross made him one of the best winger
of his time. He played 284 games in his six years of spell in London.
2. Liam Brady (1973–1980)
Brady
is the most senior player present in this list. The 58-year-old had all the abilities
like powerful shots, passing, speed and leadership, these made him the complete
midfielder. He made a debut for Arsenal when he was only 17. He scored 43 goals
in 235 games for Arsenal in Premier League.
1. Patrick Vieira (1996-2005)
Vieira
played for many different and big clubs AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan but
his time at Arsenal was the most important as he was the part of that squad which
made history by winning Premier League without losing a single game. The 37-year-old played more than 300 games
for Arsenal.
The
Frenchman is currently managing the reserves of Manchester City.
