10 Players Who Rejected Arsenal

Nobody tells Zlatan what to do! Not even if that makes him miss out on a potential early-career move.

Arsene Wenger would have been left shocked when a teenager (who he'd just handed a number nine shirt) rejected his advances because 'he doesn't do trials'. Ibrahimovic was on the books at AC Milan when Arsenal approached him looking to take him to London and, although it was a move that appealed, he spurned the offer as he didn't want to audition.

Eventually he moved to Ajax and went on to enjoy success after success across the continent before eventually arriving in England at Arsenal's rivals Manchester United.
