ST) Zlatan Ibrahimovic – PSG
The giant Swede was moments away from joining Arsenal as a teenager in a £3m move from Malmo, that is until Arsene Wenger asked him to come for a trial.

The Frenchman could have signed the powerful forward for as little as £100,000 as a youngster, but he didn’t feel the Ivorian was ready to make the step up just yet.
