Steven Naismith
Scottish striker Steven Naismith went on to enjoy a fruitful Premier League spell with Everton and Norwich. But several years earlier, he had the opportunity to impress Arsene Wenger in a trial at the club’s training ground.
Aged 19, Naismith had scored an impressive 13 goals for Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership. The club’s chairman, Michael Johnston, said at the time: “Apparently, this is how Arsenal and Arsene Wenger work – he likes to meet players he is interested in in training.”
Arsenal opted against signing Naismith, who spent another year at Kilmarnock before signing for Rangers.
