Arsenal’s number 9 is CURSED! Fallen wonderkid & sulker who DEFECTED to Liverpool & Chelsea prove it

5. Jose Antonio Reyes (2003-2006)

Reyes was another who made a bright start to his time at Arsenal, but he quickly faded and ended up netting only 23 times in three-and-a-half years in North London before returning to Spain.

6. Francis Jeffers (2001-2003)

Arsene Wenger splashed out relatively big money to lure the wonderkid from Everton in 2001, but Jeffers cost the Gunners £1m a goal and put Wenger off investing in English talent for several years.
