Davor Šuker arrived at Highbury in 1999 after helping Real Madrid win major trophies and starring for Croatia at the 1998 World Cup.

However, the striker struggled to reproduce the form that made him one of Europe’s most feared forwards.

He scored eight Premier League goals in 22 appearances, which was a respectable return, but his time at Arsenal was overshadowed by the departure of Nicolas Anelka and the arrival of Thierry Henry, who proved more than capable of filling the void and went on to become a club legend.

4. Dani Ceballos

Dani Ceballos joined Arsenal on loan from Real Madrid during the early years of Mikel Arteta’s reign.

The midfielder showed flashes of quality, particularly during Arsenal’s 2020 FA Cup-winning campaign, but he never convinced the club to make the move permanent.

Despite his technical ability and composure in possession, Ceballos ultimately fell short of becoming a key figure in Arteta’s plans.

After two loan spells, he returned to Madrid, where he remained a fringe player.
