6 Players who have played for Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League era

#3 Kolo Toure

The two-time invincible was signed ASEC Mimosas for £ 150,000 in 2002 after a short trial during which he tackled Arsene Wenger in a training session! After starting as a defensive midfielder and right-back in his first season, the Ivory Coast international was a regular at the heart of the defense alongside Sol Campbell during the 2003-04 season that is forever etched into the hearts of Arsenal’s fans as the Gunners captured the league title without losing a game in the entirety of the season.

Toure was instrumental in the Gunners’ Champions League run that culminated in a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Barcelona in the final. He was instrumental in the run where the Gunners kept 10 clean sheets, which remains a competition record even today.

With 326 games for the Gunners, he moved to Manchester City in 2009 for £ 14 million after repeated bust-ups with William Gallas.

The Ivorian joined Liverpool on a free transfer after his contract with Manchester City expired in 2013. Toure has played 71 games for the Merseyside team that finished as the runner-up in the Europa League in 2015-16. He was released by Liverpool at the end of the season following which he had another invincible season at Celtic.
