Arsenal Transfers: 10 Greatest Ever Foreign Imports

4. Nwankwo Kanu

Given the amount and the quality of attacking talent at Arsenal's disposal during Kanu's career at the club, it is no small wonder that he was able to become such a legend. He quickly began to develop a reputation as a super sub, but it was a game in which he started that was to become his most memorable. With Arsenal 2-0 down against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Kanu scored a hat trick in the last 15 minutes to win the game, the final goal coming from a seemingly impossible angle. Kanu won 2 Premier Leagues and 2 F.A. Cups in at Highbury, but also was hugely important in expanding Arsenal's fanbase in Africa and especially his home country of Nigeria.
