Arsenal rejected 20-year-old Yaya Toure

Arsenal missed the chance of signing one of the best African footballers of all time in Yaya Toure, after former manager Arsene Wenger described him as 'completely average' while on trial.

A 20-year-old Toure auditioned at Arsenal in 2003, in hopes of playing for the North London club as a start to his career in Europe.

However, the versatile Ivorian failed to convince Wenger in a pre-season friendly against Barnet.
