Cesc Fabregas has revealed his top five Arsenal players from the Emirates Stadium era.

The Gunners moved to their 60,000-seater stadium ahead of the 2005/2006 season after bidding an emotional farewell to Highbury and many players have come and gone.

Thierry Henry graced the new ground for one season before leaving to join Barcelona, although he did return for a short spell in 2012 and netted a stunning goal against Leeds United in the FA Cup.

But the Frenchman, as expected, doesn't make Fabregas' top-five.

Instead, the Spaniard has named Robin van Persie as his best Arsenal player during the Emirates Stadium era - in a verdict that might anger some Gunners supporters.

The Dutchman was very much a fan favourite during his time in north London and did score loads of goals at the Emirates, but his move to Manchester United didn't go down well.

In second place for Fabregas is a player who also made the switch to Old Trafford; Alexis Sanchez.

Perhaps many supporters' number one pick, the Chile international certain shined at the Emirates and is certainly well-worth his spot in the Monaco midfielder's top two.
