and virgil van dijk of liverpool celebrate following the premier league match between liverpool fc and chelsea fc at anfield on july 22 2020 in liverpool england photo by paul ellis pool via getty images liverpool announced their 75m deal for van dijk in december 2017 ahead of a january transfer move i think we can all say it was money well spent when you consider that he s still only 29 and they ve already won the champions league and the premier league with him in their back line he was also named uefa s best player in europe 2019 arsenal have never spent that much on a single player no matter what position and until nicolas pepe was purchased in 2019 for an inflated 72m the most they had paid for a player was the 57 4m they gave borussia dortmund for pierre emerick aubameyang s services latest arsenal injury updates and news spending big at the back just isn t something arsenal have done and it has cost them so how much have arsenal spent on their most expensive defenders the transfer fees listed are courtesy of transfermarkt co uk laurent koscielny 11 3m baku azerbaijan may 29 laurent koscielny of arsenal looks dejected as he walks past the europa league trophy whilst coduring the uefa europa league final between chelsea and arsenal at baku olimpiya stadionu on may 29 2019 in baku azerbaijan photo by michael regan getty images arsenal signed laurent koscielny from fc lorient in 2010 although he had a tough start to life in north london the frenchman went on to become one of the top centre backs in the league for such a cheap price this was certainly a fantastic signing by the gunners it s incredibly sad that his career ended at arsenal the way it did and for that a lot of blame must lie at the feet of the management team in place at that time in time he will be remembered correctly giovanni van bronckhorst 12 15m london march 2 kevin lisbie of charlton athletic shields the ball from giovanni van bronckhorst of arsenal during the fa barclaycard premiership match held on march 2 2003 at highbury in london arsenal won the match 2 0 photo by jamie mcdonald getty images giovanni van bronckhorst arrived at arsenal from rangers for the not inconsiderable sum of 12 15m in 2001 in his first season he played 32 times for arsenal scoring one and assisting three in his second season he played 31 games with one goal and seven assists but his time at the club was up just two years after signing for arsenal he was off on loan to barcelona before moving there permanently for free in 2004 three seasons 154 appearances seven goals and 18 assists in spain was followed by another free transfer this time back home to feyenoord the club van bronckhorst had joined when he was just 18 van bronckhorst retired from playing in 2010 and is currently the manager of guangzhou r f gabriel paulista 13 5m gabriel paulista a few years after koscielny gabriel joined the club from villarreal he had his moments in an arsenal shirt but generally never seemed to settle and was a little bit bonkers eventually after winning two fa cups and making 64 appearances the brazilian returned to spain mathieu debuchy 13 5m mathieu debuchy at the time this seemed like a great signing for a relatively small fee the gunners had lost bacary sagna to manchester city and mathieu debuchy seemed like a younger and similarly capable option however a long term injury saw hector bellerín take the frenchman s place in the team and debuchy never stopped whinging about it whenever he managed to get fit with no intention of fighting this young upstart for a place debuchy moved to saint etienne in 2018 on a free transfer after arsenal cancelled his contract to shut him up overall debuchy is one of those signings that leaves you wondering what could ve been and might even be viewed as a sliding doors transfer what would have happened had marko aranautovic not shoved him unnecessarily into the advertising hoardings where would debuchy be now more importantly where would bellerin be sokratis 14 4m arsenal s greek defender sokratis papastathopoulos l vies with west ham united s french striker sebastien haller r during the english premier league football match between arsenal and west ham at the emirates stadium in london on march 7 2020 photo by ian kington afp via getty images what to make of the greek defender there is no doubt he has the passion but does he have the talent not 14 4m worth that s for sure as evidenced by the fact that he s only worth 3 6m it was 7 2m in the summer now despite being worth 18m when we first bought him isn t even in the squad this season calum chambers 18 2m london england december 09 callum chambers of arsenal celebrates their second goal scored by pierre emerick aubameyang during the premier league match between west ham united and arsenal fc at london stadium on december 09 2019 in london united kingdom photo by julian finney getty images calum chambers joined arsenal in the same summer as gabriel and debuchy for a while he looked like the only defensive success story of that window when the gunners signed the 19 year old now 25 from southampton to play right back although he started well the englishman never hit the heights we hoped and ended up on loan at middlesbrough and fulham he really made the most of those loans proving himself as a capable centre back and even being voted fulham s player of the season at arsenal however he has not done enough and the club wanted to sell him even with his knee injury gabriel magalhaes 23 4m photo by will oliver pool getty images arsenal fought off tough competition to sign gabriel from lille convincing the player to take less money because he believed in mikel arteta s project more than the one going on at manchester united thrown straight into the side he scored a debut goal and has looked like he has played in this league for years unlike many of his colleagues who actually have kieran tierney 24 3m kieran tierney i m fairly sure we can say at this point we will all look back at kieran tierney s signing as one of the bargains of the century if he can sort his hips out william saliba 27m william saliba on his friendly debut against mk dons photo via david price on twitter the 19 year old was signed by arsenal from saint etienne in the summer of 2019 but spent all of 19 20 on loan with his childhood club at the time of writing we haven t got to see much of saliba in an arsenal shirt but big things are expected if arteta would only give him a chance shkodran mustafi 36 9m the aftermath of the jamie vardy kick on shkodran mustafi photo via mustafi on instagram mustafi is arsenal s most expensive defender by far costing over twice as much as chambers and he shouldn t have cost anything close to 37m he joined as a world cup winner and a regular from a top five league with valencia but hasn t lived up to the hype if anything he s gone out of his way to avoid any and all hype around him whatsoever and his tendency to dive in ignoring the dangers of doing so is legendary just as he was starting to look like the defender we all thought we d signed in 2016 his hamstring ripped from the bone and that was that the club tried to to sell him but couldn t he s out of contract in the summer along with quite a few others arsenal football club s greatest left backs kieran tierney has already made himself a fan favourite at arsenal so will he be able to claim a place amongst the club s greatest left backs glasgow scotland september 20 kieran tierney of celtic arrives at the stadium prior to the uefa europa league group b match between celtic and rosenborg at celtic park on september 20 2018 in glasgow united kingdom photo by ian macnicol getty images if mikel arteta wants his side to play flowing attacking football and use the width of the pitch to full effect kieran tierney looks like he is an excellent capture the scot however has high standards to live up to if he wants to be one of the best left backs in arsenal s history as there have been a number of top players to represent the club in that position here are arsenal s greatest left backs kenny sansom london united kingdom august 01 arsenal defender kenny sansom pictured ahead of the 1984 85 season at highbury stadium in london england photo by allsport getty images this one will be worth asking your parents about if you don t remember him yourself sansom arrived at arsenal in 1980 and turned out to be one of the best left backs of his era he joined from crystal palace as a replacement for sammy nelson and had everything required to be a class act for the club sansom could get up and down the line while being able to both attack and defend he had pace and poise on the ball always able to pick out a pass his eight seasons at the club saw him make 394 appearances and also become a key player for england sansom moved to newcastle in 1988 and also played for qpr coventry and everton after being picked up on a free transfer before retiring eddie hapgood arsenal and england footballer eddie hapgood 1908 1973 leads the his team onto the pitch at the start of a football league jubilee trust fund match against tottenham hotspur at highbury 20th august 1938 photo by fox photos hulton archive getty images eddie hapgood was a player who upon arrival was considered too small and frail to play for the gunners so the former milkman was forced by arsenal trainer tom whittaker to take up extra weight training and let go of his vegan diet in order to bulk up hapgood would end up becoming a player known for his athleticism and played 393 times for the gunners as well as earning 30 caps for england not bad for a player signed from kettering nigel winterburn if arsenal are going to return to the summit of the english game and win the premier league they need to have a strong reliable backline right now no one is convinced the gunners can challenge for the crown with football betting markets having them at 40 1 to win the premier league nigel winterburn won three top division titles while at arsenal and was part of a famous back four that contained steve bould tony adams and lee dixon martin keown also joined to give arsenal a formidable defence that helped them win the cup winner s cup in 1994 beating parma 1 0 in the final ashley cole arguably the most naturally gifted left back ever to play for arsenal his time with the club was immensely successful winning two premier league titles and three fa cups but his departure left a bitter taste in the mouth of the fans ashley cole on what his
