When Arsene Wenger arrived at Arsenal in October 1996, it didn t take the Frenchman long to demonstrate his excellent knowledge of the European transfer market.
In his first full season, the north London club won the double having brought in the likes of Patrick Vieira, Nicolas Anelka, Emmanuel Petit and Marc Overmars just to name a few.
His ability to identify talent that may not have necessarily been fulfilling their potential at the time, coupled with David Dein s negotiation skills, saw Arsenal challenge Manchester United for the Premier League crown - winning it three times in seven seasons.
