Robert Pires & Arsene Wenger

Pires was signed by Arsenal for £6 million in 2000, after stiff competition from Real Madrid and Juventus. He replaced fan-favorite Marc Overmars, who had left for Barcelona. Pires has a tough start to life in North London but slowly developed one of Arsene Wenger's key players.

Pires struck a prolific partnership with fellow Frenchmen Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira during his time at the club. He was included in the PFA Team of the Year for the 2001–02, 2002–03, and 2003–04 seasons. Pires scored 62 goals in 189 appearances for Arsenal during his six years at the club.

The French winger was one of Arsene Wenger's most successful signings and is currently a coach at Arsenal.

Bergkamp signed for Arsenal in 1995 after two unsuccessful years at Inter Milan. At Arsenal he rejuvenated his career, helping the club to win three Premier League titles and four FA Cup trophies.

Dennis Bergkamp is considered to be one of the greatest Premier League players of all time. The Dutchman had an astounding impact on the club and in his 11 years with the team, Bergkamp scored 87 goals in 315 Premier League appearances.

Along with a large trophy haul, Bergkamp also helped Arsenal reach the 2006 UEFA Champions League Final. The signing of Dennis Bergkamp is applauded as one of Arsene Wenger's smartest decisions.

Bergkamp placed third in the FIFA World Player of the Year Award voting twice and was selected by Pelé as one of the FIFA 100 greatest living players. In 2007, he was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame, becoming the first and only Dutch player to receive the honor.

Thierry Henry warms up for Arsenal

Thierry Henry joined Arsenal for £11 million in 1999 from Juventus, after suffering from a lack of playing time and arguments with the Turin club's hierarchy. Under long-time mentor and coach Arsène Wenger, Henry became a prolific striker and Arsenal's all-time leading scorer with 228 goals in all competitions.

Henry won the Premier League Golden Boot a record four times. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest strikers of all time and is arguably the greatest player in Premier League history.

Henry was the runner-up for the FIFA World Player of the Year in 2003 and 2004. He also finished as the runner-up for the Ballon d'Or in 2003. Henry was named the PFA Players' Player of the Year twice, the FWA Footballer of the Year three times, and was named in the PFA Team of the Year for six straight seasons.
