Kolo Toure among Arsene Wenger’s best 4

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has named the four signings he rates as his best ever while Gunners boss.

Wenger spent 22, largely successful, years in north London before stepping down this summer and being replaced by Spaniard Unai Emery.

The Frenchman’s first official signing was to bring in countryman Remi Garde, although it is widely accepted that he played a crucial role in the arrival of Patrick Vieira just before his appointment.

Wenger’s final signing was that of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who looks set to play a key role going forwards under Emery and director of football Sven Mislintat.

But the 68-year-old more fondly recalls some of the deals he made earlier in his tenure.

“The ones I’m most proud of are the ones that cost little but turned out to be top class,” he told RTL.

“Toure, Henry, Campbell, Anelka.”
