Arsene Wenger reveals his best-ever Arsenal signing - and it's not Thierry Henry Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes Patrick Vieira - rather than Thierry Henry - was his best ever signing for the Gunners.
Arsenal finished third in Wenger's debut season, with a young Nicolas Anelka also joining the club, and then won the double after adding the likes of Emmanuel Petit and Dutch winger Marc Overmars in 1997.
He was a two-time Premier League champion with the London club, but the first of their three top-flight titles under Wenger came before Henry's 1999 arrival.
Wenger's first two signings, Vieira and Remi Garde, were confirmed before the manager's own arrival was official.
Henry is the Gunners' all-time record goalscorer, bagging more than 200 goals for the club after being signed by Wenger from Juventus.
