#2 Dennis Bergkamp. And Mesut Ozil.
Trending
We've all heard stories of how Arsenal fans flocked to Highbury the night after the club signed Dennis Bergkamp from Inter Milan. Even though he had two under-par seasons at Inter, he was still the kind of superstar the club needed at the time.
Dennis Bergkamp went on to win four Premierships, three FA Cups and reached the Champions League final in 2006 – which was sadly his last game as a professional footballer. While all these achievements may speak for themselves, its his influence on the pitch – the twists, the turns, the goal against Newcastle that really place him in a bracket separate from most Arsenal stars.
What Dennis Bergkamp was to that legendary Arsenal side, Mesut Ozil can be for this. The German received a similar response from Arsenal fans when he signed in 2013 from Spanish giants Real Madrid and has since gone on to establish himself as one of the better performers.
Having taken some time to settle in the team, Ozil epitomises what Arsenal are about; creativity, ruthless flair and a first-touch that would put the brightest names to shame. Having already won 2 FA Cups since joining, let's hope the German can keep this run going. It's an absolute privilege to watch him for us every week.
