Many had touted Gervinho to become the next big thing when he joined Arsenal from Lille in 2011. Before joining the Gunners, Gervinho had scored 15 goals and had been a star player for the French club. However, he had a mixed debut season at the North London outfit and played mostly as a second fiddle in the subsequent season.

His declining game times then led Arsenal to sell him to AS Roma. Fortunately, his move to Roma was a success and became a turning point for his career. After two-and-a-half successful seasons at Serie A, Gervinho spent some time in the Chinese Super League before coming back to Italy in 2018.

Now the 31 years old is a star performer for the newly-promoted Parma. He has scored 9 goals this season, two of them are against Juventus in Serie A. Had Arsenal never let him left, the Gunners could have a much better winger than Iwobi.
