Arsenal transfer rumours
Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin has named his ultimate dream XI, with no room for Gunners greats like Patrick Vieira or Thierry Henry, though one notable inclusion of a Chelsea great in this slightly controversial lineup…
GK: Manuel Neuer
Probably the best goalkeeper in the world at the moment, Manuel Neuer has been a huge player for Bayern Munich and Germany, winning all there is to win in the game.
DR: Cafu
Possibly the best right-back of all time, Brazil legend Cafu is selected by Coquelin for this role, having also been a major performer for World Cup and Champions League-winning sides.
DL: Roberto Carlos
One of the Galacticos at Real Madrid, Roberto Carlos is another former Brazil star who makes it into Coquelin’s dream XI in defence.
DC: Lilian Thuram
A French legend, Lilian Thuram is one of the best defenders of the modern era, and is an unsurprising selection by Coquelin at the back.
DC: Carles Puyol
Another legendary defender who won it all in a great career with Barcelona and Spain, Carles Puyol makes it into Coquelin’s team.
MC: Claude Makelele
Former Chelsea man Claude Makelele is a surprise selection ahead of former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira, though the two have a similar playing style.
MC: Zinedine Zidane
Another French great and all-time favourite of most football fans, Zinedine Zidane is an unsurprising selection in midfield.
AMR: Lionel Messi
Currently the best player in the world and possibly the best ever, Barcelona star Lionel Messi takes a place in the attacking midfield roles.
AML: Ronaldinho
On the left is Brazilian legend Ronaldinho, who is another of the finest players of recent times, having starred for Barcelona and Brazil.
AMC: Diego Maradona
Just behind the main striker, Argentina legend Diego Maradona is widely considered to be the best player of all time and gets into Coquelin’s team.
FC: Ronaldo
Controversially ahead of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, Brazilian forward Ronaldo is the final selection by Coquelin in this dream team.
