Emmanuel Petit joined Arsenal in the summer of 1997 and instantly became a part of a side which went onto dominate English football that season, winning both the Premier League and FA Cup while playing alongside Patrick Vieira in the centre of midfield.
Despite his success across 118 Arsenal appearances, he’d spend only three seasons at Highbury. In the summer of 2000, Barcelona paid £7m to buy Petit, £4.5m more than what the Gunners spent to sign him from Monaco.
