Five of arsenals most panicky panic buys kallstrom santos
A fun topic! Here are five of Arsenal's most notable panic buys, including Kallström and Santos:
- Kim Kallström (2014): A Swedish midfielder who joined Arsenal on a short-term deal in January 2014. Kallström was signed to provide cover in midfield, but he struggled to make an impact and was eventually released at the end of the season.
- André Santos (2011): A Brazilian left-back who joined Arsenal from Fenerbahçe in August 2011. Santos was signed to provide competition for Kieran Gibbs, but he failed to impress and was eventually loaned out to Gremio in 2012.
- Park Chu-Young (2011): A South Korean striker who joined Arsenal from AS Monaco in August 2011. Park was signed to provide backup to Robin van Persie, but he struggled to adapt to the Premier League and was eventually loaned out to Celta Vigo in 2012.
- Denilson (2006): A Brazilian midfielder who joined Arsenal from São Paulo in July 2006. Denilson was signed to provide cover in midfield, but he struggled to make an impact and was eventually loaned out to São Paulo in 2011.
- Marouane Chamakh (2010): A Moroccan striker who joined Arsenal from Bordeaux in July 2010. Chamakh was signed to provide backup to Robin van Persie, but he struggled to adapt to the Premier League and was eventually loaned out to West Ham United in 2013.
These players were all signed by Arsenal in a state of panic, often due to injuries or a lack of depth in certain positions. While some of them had decent careers elsewhere, they ultimately failed to make a significant impact at the Emirates Stadium.
