10: Thierry Henry to Barcelona (2007)
The legendary Frenchman has gone down in Arsenal's history as not only their most prolific striker, but also probably their best ever player.
It came as an incredible shock then when Arsene Wenger said that he was determined to keep the world-class striker, only to allow him to join Barcelona for €24million at the end of the 2007 season.
At the time he was one of the best in the world and, having played for the Gunners for eight years- including numerous times as captain, very few expected him to leave for La Liga.
9: Carlos Tevez to Manchester City (2009)
Carlos Tevez's highly publicised switch from Manchester United to Manchester City was about as shocking as you can get.
A regularly used striker, and one who had enjoyed bags of success at Old Trafford, Tevez seemed happy to remain under Sir Alex Ferguson.
8: Gareth Bale to Real Madrid (2013)
One very good season in the Premier League saw him transferred to the Spanish giants for a reported £85.3million, which left the footballing world well and truly staggered.
7: Mesut Ozil to Arsenal (2013)
The surprise nature of Ozil's arrival at the Emirates is what forces this transfer into contention.
Most definitely a transfer that made the world sit up and view Arsenal's credentials in a different light, and one that will probably stand to gain them more than they lost in the transfer fee.
6: Eric Cantona to Manchester United (1992)
After an extremely impressive, albeit short, stint at Leeds, during which he won the English title, Cantona moved to Manchester United in a move that no-one really saw coming.
5: Robinho to Manchester City (2008)
One look at history will tell you this move was an ill-fated one, but at the time it could not have been met with more of a gobsmacking reception.
4: RVP to Man United (2012)
Arsenal's captain and key man caused more than just a stir when he traded the Emirates for Old Trafford in 2012.
3: Sol Campbell to Arsenal (2001)
The former Tottenham stalwart didn't so much kick the hornets nest as pick it up and throw it into a crowd of football fans.
2: Luis Figo to RM (2000)
Even more shockingly ground-breaking than the last slide, Figo made history when he traded Barcelona for Real Madrid.
1: CR-7 to RM (2009)
The majority of the footballing world sensed that eventually Ronaldo would end up at the Bernabeu, but few would have predicted that Madrid would have splashed out a record breaking £80million for him.
