Arsenal needs Arsene Wenger, but also Arsene Wenger needs Arsenal. For me, he will die at Arsenal. He is like Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. After you think about Ferguson and United, you then think about Wenger and Arsenal.

Robert Pires

Arsenal have a great manager in Arsene Wenger, top quality players and an attractive style of play. These were all important factors in me choosing to sign for Arsenal.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

So, Arsenal have signed Arsene Wenger because his name sounds a bit like the club. How long before Man Utd sign Stefan Kuntz?

Frank Skinner

I got scouted for Tottenham and was there for three to four weeks before a phone call from Arsenal came. The first session they wanted to sign me so, happy days, I didn't look back. I'm an Arsenal fan, everyone in my family is Arsenal, so it wasn't a hard decision.

Reiss Nelson

If Arsene Wenger came down to League Two he would have to adapt, he couldn't work in the same way he works at Arsenal.

John Barnes

Arsene Wenger asked me to have a trial with Arsenal when I was 17. I turned it down. Zlatan doesn't do auditions

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Arsene Wenger asked me to have a trial with Arsenal when I was 17. I turned it down. Zlatan doesn't do auditions.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

The main factor in joining Arsenal was meeting with Arsene Wenger and to hear what his plans were for me.

Aaron Ramsey

I played for Arsenal for more than three years, and I had fantastic moments. Maybe they made me one of the best strikers in the world, because under Arsene Wenger, I learned a lot of things - but you have to move on.

Emmanuel Adebayor

I was 17 when Arsene Wenger gave me my first Premier League start for Arsenal against Southampton and I was very immature when I was playing.

Reiss Nelson

I’ll never forget the club or him I don’t see Arsenal without Arsene Wenger

Thierry Henry

When I went to Arsenal I was working really hard on the weights, as Arsene Wenger is very keen on that.

Kolo Toure

Before Wenger came, Arsenal celebrated 1-0 and were based on defensive solidity. With Arsene, joy came from attacking, with players of good standing. And the perfect combination was the Invincibles. But over time, only technical quality and offensive freedom were taken care of, losing the defensive structure.
