Serge Aurier to sign for Arsenal? The five players who played for both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspurs

The
28-year-old’s
current
contract
with
Spurs
has
been
terminated
by
a
mutual
contest
following
the
summer
transfer
deadline
and
the
defender
is
now
free
to
sign
for
any
side.

Arsenal
have
reportedly
shown
interest
in
getting
him
and
should
a
deal
be
done,
he
would
join
an
exclusive
list
of
men
who
have
crossed
the
line
and
played
for
both
of
the
north
London
rivals.

Here,
we
have
taken
a
look
at
five
players
who
represented
both
the
clubs
during
their
time
in
Premier
League:

1.
Sol
Campbell

The
English
defender
came
through
the
ranks
at
Tottenham
and
was
made
the
club
captain
just
at
the
age
of
23.
He
slowly
established
himself
as
one
of
the
best
defenders
in
the
division.
However,
he
got
frustrated
with
the
lack
of
ambition
and
success
at
the
club.
During
the
summer
of
2001,
he
made
a
controversial
switch
to
bitter-rivals
Arsenal
as
a
free
agent
where
he
finally
went
on
to
be
very
successful.
He
won
two
Premier
League
titles
at
Highbury
including
the
2003
invincible
league
title.

2.
Emmanuel
Adebayor

Adebayor
played
for
Arsenal
from
2006
but
ditched
the
club
for
a
big-money
transfer
to
Manchester
City
in
2009.
He
scored
62
goals
in
142
appearances
over
the
course
of
four
seasons
at
Arsenal
but
never
managed
to
replicate
the
same
kind
of
form
at
his
new
club.
Following
a
brief
and
productive
loan
stint
at
Real
Madrid
in
the
2010-11
season,
he
took
that
revolting
step
of
joining
Spurs
on
loan
in
the
summer
of
2011.
He
has
had
a
relatively
fruitful
time
over
there
with
42
goals
in
113
appearances
to
his
name,
despite
injury
issues.

3.
William
Gallas

The
French
defender
played
for
all
the
Big
three
London
clubs
during
his
stay
in
Premier
League.
He
first
swapped
his
shirt
from
Chelsea
to
Arsenal
after
he
was
involved
in
a
deal
that
saw
Ashley
Cole
signing
for
the
Blues.
After
spending
four
seasons
with
them,
he
joined
Spurs
on
a
free
transfer
in
2010
after
refusing
to
sign
a
new
contract.
However,
he
was
clearly
past
his
prime
and
struggled
to
put
in
reliable
performances
before
being
released
in
2013.

4.
David
Bentley

A
youth
product
of
Arsenal,
the
English
winger
left
Highbury
just
after
nine
appearances
before
signing
for
Norwich.
He
then
made
a
move
to
Blackburn
where
he
established
himself
as
a
key
player.
Spurs
signed
the
English
prodigy
from
there
who
was
once
regarded
as
the
‘next
Beckham’.
However,
he
never
managed
to
touch
the
ceiling
or
even
came
close
to
it.

5.
Rohan
Ricketts

Ricketts
was
regarded
as
a
hot
young
prospect
at
Arsenal
after
winning
the
FA
Youth
Cup
with
the
Gunners
in
2000
and
2001.
However,
he
saw
first-team
opportunities
hard
to
come
by
and
after
just
one
senior
appearance
he
left
the
club
for
the
arch-rivals
in
2002.
He
never
really
made
it
big
at
White
Hart
Lane,
however,
maintained
a
first-team
role
before
signing
for
Wolves
in
2005.
