34. Francis Coquelin
Another French defensive midfielder brought to the club from relative obscurity in 2008, Francis Coquelin is back in North London following a season-long loan spell in the Bundesliga with Freiburg in 2013/14.
Expected to again be on the fringes of the Gunners first team in 2014/15, it could have all panned out so differently for Coquelin who has received shock starts against the likes of both of Arsenal’s London rivals in the form of Tottenham and Chelsea.
A dogged competitor, Coquelin is like Flamini in the way that he likes to let an opponent know he is there with his strong tackling. It remains to be seen whether he will enjoy a renaissance in the Arsenal first team.
