With the news that Arsene Wenger personally called up Russian scout, Oleg Luzhny, to watch CSKA Moscow midfielder, Aleksandr Golovin, we look at other players that the Frenchman has used the personal touch to sign.

Wenger apparently told football agent, Sandor Varga, who represented ex-Gunner Oleg Luzhny, to keep an eye on 21-year-old Golovin and now the youngster is set to sign for Arsenal for between £10m and £15m.

So, who else has Wenger personally had a hand in recruiting?

5. Patrick Vieira

Vieira joined Arsenal in 1996, the same year as Wenger, because the manager spoke French and he found it easy speaking with him.
