Robin Van Persie: Van Persie is a very left-footed player and has an interesting turn of phrase to describe his right. "I think you will miss many more chances with your chocolate leg if you think negatively, thinking that it's not your strong foot," he once said.
Mikel Arteta: Arteta is best friends with former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso and the two midfielders grew up playing football together in San Sebastian. They were also neighbours when their paths crossed on Merseyside.
Andrei Arshavin: Arshavin once studied for a fashion diploma but to say he is in touch with his feminine side would be extreme. In fact, he has previously called for women drivers to be banned from the road.
Theo Walcott: Walcott's family made a cameo appearance in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but the player himself had to withdraw due to his commitments with England Under-21s and Arsenal.
Per Mertesacker: In 2006, the defender established the 'Per-Mertesacker-Stiftung' - a charitable foundation that helps support amateur sportsmen and the poor.
Bacary Sagna: Sagna's cousin is Hull City defender Ibrahima Sonko but they did not meet until November 2007 when Sonko, then with Reading, played against Arsenal.
Laurent Koscielny: Koscielny was sent off during the 2009-10 season for a challenge on Bordeaux striker and now Arsenal team-mate, Marouane Chamakh.
Carl Jenkinson: His mother is from Finland and he has captained Finland Under-19s.
Marouane Chamakh: Marouane Chamakh was born on the same day that the United States established full diplomatic relations with the Vatican.
