Throughout the years, Arsenal have seen some incredible players come and unfortunately, many great players go. It has always been a cliche that Arsenal struggle to sell their best talents for a great return but how true is that statement?

The 5 most expensive Arsenal sales of all-time

Well, let's take a look as we run through the 5 most expensive Arsenal sales of all-time, with figures courtesy of Transfermarkt...

1. Alex Oxlade Chamberlain (€38m)

To say that Arsenal's most expensive sale of all-time is €38m is SURELY a joke, right? I wish. Arsenal have never managed to pick up more than €50m for a player they have sold, which is quite remarkable considering the plethora of world-class players they have occupied in their rich history.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain represented Arsenal for six seasons, after being signed from Southampton as a youngster. Developing under Arsene Wenger certainly did wonders for his playing ability and he won the FA Cup three times.
