In the year 2000 Arsenal wee trying to replace their former Dutch winger Marc Overarmars, who Arsene Wenger had sold to Barcelona for a then huge sum of 25, twenty five million pounds.
Arsene Wenger was eyeing to buy Robert Pires , from the french club Olympic Marseilles .
But it was not at all a easy and quick transfer as RealMadrid as well as Juventus wanted to buy him as well.
In fact there was a picture of Robert Pires wearing a Real Madrid, white jersey as well.
But Arsene Wenger acted quickly he sent a private plane to Spain Madrid , and you can really say Arsenal did steal Robert Pires from under the noses of Real Madrid.
