Find out Arsene Wenger's most expensive signings across his 34-year managerial career.
Following spells at AS Nancy and AS Monaco, Wenger was famed for his iconic 22-year tenure at Arsenal and, unsurprisingly, it's his stint in north London where his top 10 signings were completed.
Wenger started to splash the cash towards the end of his Arsenal reign as the Gunners attempted to keep up with their Premier League rivals and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was his most expensive outlay, spending £56 million to acquire him from Borussia Dortmund in January 2018.
Aubameyang's capture broke the transfer record previously set when they purchased Alexandre Lacazette for £47m from Lyon.
Ranking third was the statement capture of Mesut Ozil on deadline day in 2013 with Arsenal paying Real Madrid £42.5m for his services, and the German playmaker was marginally more expensive than the signings of Granit Xhaka, Alexis Sanchez and compatriot Shkodran Mustafi.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Calum Chambers rank seventh and eighth respectively, ahead of Jose Antonio Reyes, whose £17.5m purchase in 2004 has stood the test of time.
Danny Welbeck's switch from Manchester United to Arsenal on deadline day in 2014 completes the top 10.
