Marc Overmars, Emmanuel Petit, Fredrik Ljungberg, Robert Pires, Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry have all proven themselves as Premiership stars.
And fans will hope that the latest, £8 million (S$24.5million) man Eduardo da Silva, will be of the same mould.
But, of Wenger's 50 or so buys, there have been a fair share of flops, reported The Times.
Luis Boa Morte, the Portugal winger and one of Wenger's first signings when he arrived in 1997, mostly flattered. He finished his Arsenal career with no goals.
He was then passed from Southampton to Fulham and is now with West Ham.
Christopher Wreh, the Liberian, and Kaba Diawara, from Guinea, barely registered for Arsenal.
And can anyone recall Eric Chukwunyelu Obinna or Tomas Danilevicious?
Jose Antonio Reyes, the Spain winger, was homesick after signing from Seville for £10.5 million in January 2004. He spent last season on loan with Real Madrid.
And what about Francis Jeffers, the 'Fox in the Box' who cost £8 million from Everton six years ago?
But Sylvain Wiltord, a £13million capture from Bordeaux in 2000, scored 49 goals in four years.
When he left Highbury for nothing, he was not exactly a wanted man - until Monday.
Police in France arrested him when he turned up for pre-season training with Lyon because he had failed to appear in court on speeding charges. He was later released.
