1. Declan Rice (£105m)

3. Kai Havertz (£65m)
4. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£55.1m)
5. Ben White (£50.6m)

That's the list in descending order but, in all honesty, I find that boring. Therefore, let's add a Pain in the Arsenal spin on this, by ranking those five players in terms of how they performed from worst to best.

5. Nicolas Pepe (£72m)

I don't think this placement is going to receive much criticism. It might just be the worst Arsenal signing in history, which is why it's hilarious to think Pepe is the 2nd most expensive Arsenal signing of all-time.

He signed from Lille in 2019 for a whopping fee of £72m - At the time, Arsenal had never spent this much on a player.
