Over the years, we have seen different Arsenal legends (most endowed players at the club) move to Spanish Laliga giant, FC Barcelona after an illustrious career with the English Premier League club.
For most Arsenal fans, it was hurting to see their club legends leave to a Spanish Laliga club that stopped them from winning their first-ever UEFA Champions League trophy.
The Gabonese international, Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang is the latest Arsenal Legend to join Barcelona. Although the African did so after his contract expired, unlike others.
After a successful medical on the January deadline transfer window, the Gabonese international joined Spanish Laliga giant FC Barcelona on a free deal.
The former Arsenal captain agreed to the deal and was in Barcelona headquarters to sign the agreement.
✓ Cesc Fabregas
Back in 2011, Barcelona revealed that they have agreed on a fee of £2.25 million with Arsenal for the transfer of then-teenage midfielder Francesc 'Cesc' Fabregas.
Purely based on statistics, Cesc Fabregas played the best football of his career at Barcelona.
Although the Spaniard had a poor record against Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid - he never scored against Atleti, never finished 90 minutes in a Clasico, and managed just one goal and no assists against Real Madrid.
✓ Thierry Henry
It will be wrong for any Arsenal fan not to recall how good Thierry Henry was while playing for the North London club during his prime.
The former France international helped Arsene Wenger to lift different domestic league titles and also reach the final of the UEFA Champions League where they lost to FC Barcelona.
Back in 2007, Henry was transferred to Barcelona for a £16 million fee. There he was a key member of the 2009 team that captured Barcelona's first “treble” by winning the national first-division title, Spain's major domestic cup (Copa del Rey), and the continental championship (Champions League).
Both Cesc Fabregas and Thierry Henry won the UEFA Champions League after they switched to play for Barcelona, do you see Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang achieving the same feat?
