Arsenal's ‘diabolical' top 10 transfer sales revealed as fans are stunned second highest was 26 YEARS ago
WHEN it comes to transfer business, Arsenal have certainly failed to live up to their elite status over the years. While the majority of incomings have proven to be successful, outgoings have been a real issue. 13 The club's record sale remains the £32million earned from the departure of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain eight years ago. Even with today's inflated transfer market, Arsenal have failed to surpass that figure despite having some hugely talented players on their books. SunSport has looked at the club's top 10 most expensive outgoings, including one deal from 26 years ago. 1. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to Liverpool (£32m) Arsenal's top sale to date, Oxlade-Chamberlain joined Liverpool in a £32million transfer in 2017 after a six-year spell in north London. The midfielder made 198 appearances in total for the Gunners before leaving and registered 48 direct goal contributions. He went on to spend six years with Liverpool but struggled to establish himself as a regular first-team starter at Anfield. Oxlade-Chamberlain left Merseyside as a free agent in 2023 and subsequently joined Besiktas, where he currently remains. 13 2. Nicolas Anelka to Real Madrid (£30m) The club's second-highest sale will likely come as a shock to many fans. That's because it happened 26 years ago. In 1999, Anelka swapped England for Spain when he completed a move to Real Madrid for £30m. Gyokeres trying to force Arsenal move | Newcastle eye Rashford deal | Transfers Exposed The Frenchman made 90 appearances for the Gunners in total across his two-year spell, scoring 28 goals. He also played for the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Chelsea before retiring 10 years ago. Arsenal fans have been left stunned after learning that Anelka remains one of the club's highest sales over a quarter of a century on from his departure. One person took to social media to write: "This is actually diabolical how the hell are we a big club." While a second commented: "Our 2nd highest sale was in 1999/00?!" 13 3. Alexis Sanchez to Man Utd (straight swap, £30m) In a unique deal, Sanchez left Arsenal to join Manchester United in a straight swap deal that saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan go the other way. The deal, which took place in January 2018, is estimated to have been worth around £30m. Sanchez was one of the best players in the Premier League during his time at Arsenal but experienced a drop in form towards the end of his time at the Emirates. After joining Man Utd, his fortunes did not improve. He later admitted that he regretted leaving Arsenal. 13 4. Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona (£29m) In a move that broke the hearts of Arsenal fans, Fabregas joined Barcelona in a deal worth around £29m in 2011 after eight years at the Emirates. He made over 300 appearances for the Gunners and scored 57 goals. Following his spell with Barcelona, Fabregas returned to the Premier League with Chelsea. He now the head coach of Como in the Serie A. 13 5. Emile Smith Rowe to Fulham (£27m) Smith Rowe put an end to his 14-year Arsenal career last summer when he joined Fulham in a permanent move. The 24-year-old joined the Cottagers in search of regular first team football, having fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates. He made 40 appearances for Fulham last season, scoring six goals. 13 6. Robin Van Persie to Man Utd (£26m) In a move that still haunts Arsenal fans to this day, Van Persie swapped the Emirates for Old Trafford for approximately £26m. The striker had amassed an impressive goalscoring record for the Gunners, scoring 132 times in 278 appearances. His 2012 move was deemed hugely controversial - especially when he received a guard of honour from his old club for winning the Premier League with United just one year after making the switch. 13 13 7. Alex Iwobi to Everton (£25m) Iwobi joined Everton in a deal worth around £25m in 2019, having first joined Arsenal when he was at primary school. He made 149 appearances for the Gunners in total, scoring 15 goals. The winger then spent four years at Everton before joining Fulham in 2023, where he is still a first team regular. 13 8. Folarin Balogun to Monaco (£25) Balogun was sold by the Gunners following a prolific season on loan with Reims in Ligue 1. He joined Monaco in a deal worth approximately £25m excluding add-ons in 2023, having graduated from Arsenal's Hale End academy. In the season before he was sold, Balogun scored 21 Ligue 1 goals in 37 appearances for Reims on loan. It made him the joint-fourth highest goalscorer in the league. Balogun was limited to just 10 first team appearances during his time with Arsenal. 13 9. Eddie Nketiah to Crystal Palace (£25m) After nine years at Arsenal, Nketiah left the Emirates to join Crystal Palace in search of more regular first team football last summer. The deal was understood to be worth around £25m before add-ons. He made 37 appearances during his first season at Selhurst Park and scored seven goals. 13 10. Joe Willock to Newcastle (£25m) The midfielder swapped Arsenal for Newcastle in 2021 in a deal worth £25m. Willock had just broken into the Gunners' first team but left in search of more game time. Since then, the 25-year-old has made 143 appearances for Newcastle.

Lancashire batters start well against Kent
Rothesay County Championship Division Two, Stanley Park, Blackpool (day two)Kent 374: Compton 135; Balderson 3-54, Anderson 2-61Lancashire 120-1: Wells 57*; Evison 1-8Lancashire (2 pts) trail Kent (2 pts) by 254 runsMatch scorecard Having watched Kent bat for nearly a day and a half to make 374, Lancashire produced a determined response in the long evening session at Blackpool to finish on 120-1 and leave their County Championship match fairly evenly poised with two days left to Compton's 135 was the centrepiece of his side's 374 but Luke Wells and Keaton Jennings put on 119 to give supporters a faint hope they might bat past the visitors' score and give their bowlers a chance of forcing their team's first Championship victory of the season on the final their part, Kent's supporters will have been encouraged by the departure of Jennings, who was lbw to Joey Evison for 49 three overs before the close, and by the help Jack Leaning extracted from this slow pitch, especially when bowling outside the two left-handers' off stumps. It all suggests that this match between the bottom sides in Division Two could be set for a fascinating conclusion over the next two morning began almost perfectly for Lancashire when James Anderson had both Leaning and Evison caught at short midwicket by Josh Bohannon inside his opening two having dismissed Leaning for four and Evison for a 12-ball nought, the home side enjoyed no further successes in the first session. Instead, Compton reached his fourth century of the season – and also his fourth against Lancashire - off 201 balls when he back cut Mitch Stanley to the lunch, the Kent skipper was unbeaten on 124 and Harry Finch was 28 not out. The pair had put on 60 for the sixth wicket and the second new ball, which was eleven overs old, was hitting the middle of their trend continued for the first 40 minutes of the afternoon session. But just at the point when it was tricky to see where Lancashire's next wicket might come from, Anderson's bowlers removed both batsmen, Finch, caught behind off Balderson for 52, and Compton, similarly snaffled by Hurst in the next over when nibbling at a ball from Green, for 135. The Kent skipper has batted 402 minutes, faced 296 balls and hit 15 fours and a Stewart followed five overs later when his skier was caught at mid-off by Bohannon, whose third catch of the day also gave Stanley his maiden first-class wicket. Matt Parkinson perished to Wells' leg-spin for 11 but Wes Agar enlivened the play before tea by smashing three big sixes in his 41 before he was caught at long off by Stanley long-off wicket ended the Kent innings on 374 with the wickets spread among six bowlers. Balderson was the best and most successful with 3-54. Anderson took 2-51 and Green bagged 2-104 from 37 frequent appeals and a close calls, Wells and Jennings batted with increasing confidence in the 38-over evening session, Wells reaching his fifty off 97 balls with seven fours and a six and finishing unbeaten on 57.

Todd Murphy was the most successful bowler with 3-120 on hosts hit back strongly after their opponents had been 301-2 at one stage and then made a better fist of their second innings, reaching 62-1 by the close, having reduced the deficit to 149. Cameron Bancroft was unbeaten on 32. Derbyshire began the day on 116-2, still 71 behind. Gloucestershire hopes centred on their new signing Murphy, but Madsen quickly set the tone by twice hitting the Australia Test off-spinner through the off-side for back-foot was nothing Murphy nor any other bowler could do to prise apart the Derbyshire pair as Came was first to 50 off 86 balls. Madson soon followed to the same landmark off 82 deliveries before cutting a boundary off Zaman Akhter to take his side into the lunch that advantage had stretched to 55 runs, with the scoreboard reading 242-2. The afternoon session saw Madsen reach three figures off 157 balls, with 11 fours, and Came replicate that achievement, having faced 180 deliveries and hit 12 fours and a six. Neither had looked in the least trouble on a benign pitch, highlighting how poorly Gloucestershire had batted on day was a major surprise when Madsen was dismissed with the total on 301, caught off a top-edged reverse sweep to give Murphy his first Gloucestershire wicket, sparking a Derbyshire collapse that saw six more fall for just 55 runs. Brook Guest could make only two before being caught at short mid-wicket off seamer Ben Charlesworth, who quickly struck again by having Came caught behind cutting just before the second new ball became was 319-6 when Anuj Dal was bowled by a ball from left-arm spinner Graeme van Buuren which turned to beat his forward defensive push, and 320-7 when Alex Thomson was caught by wicketkeeper James Bracey down the leg side off Aussie struck again when Martin Andersson was snapped up at short-leg and the sorry procession continued as Ben Aitchison skied a catch to backward point off van Buuren. Derbyshire's lead at that point was 169, but former Gloucestershire loanee Zak Chappell then frustrated his old teammates with some quality shots in a stand of 42 with first day bowling hero Jack latter lofted van Buuren over wide long-on for six, while Chappell produced one of the shots of the day when clipping Ajeet Singh Dale through the leg side with a flourish for four to take the lead past 200. He and Morley were still together when a delayed tea was taken with Derbyshire final session saw Morley fall lbw to off-spinner Ollie Price attempting to sweep with Derbyshire just two runs short of a fourth batting point. Chappell remained unbeaten on 28 and Gloucestershire were left with 22 overs to bat in their second innings before negotiated 11 before Morley added to his six first day victims by pinning Joe Phillips lbw on the back foot for 14. But skipper Bancroft remained rock solid and will hope to lead his side back into the game tomorrow. Reported supplied by the ECB Reporters' Network supported by Rothesay
