8) Per Mertesacker
A player who gets some stick, Per Mertesacker has actually been a great signing for Arsenal, with far too many focusing on the occasional slip-up from the solid German defender.
7) Nacho Monreal
A fine signing at left-back, Nacho Monreal joined from Malaga in 2013 and has never really let the club down, becoming more of a regular in the side last season.
