5) Alexis Sanchez
After having an unbelievable World Cup in Brazil this summer which followed on from a superb season in La Liga, no one expected Barcelona to unload Alexis Sanchez.
Cast him off they did however, and in the end it seems like Arsenal was the only club he was ever going to land with.
Liverpool were also after the Chilean, but despite a more lucrative offer from the Merseyside club Sanchez chose North London.
