Arsenal's worst ever deals: Snapping up Kim Kallstrom despite discovering a back injury during his MEDICAL, Denis Suarez's horror loan spell plus a few too many defensive disasters... but where does Alex Runarsson rank?

With Mikel Arteta and Arsenal already looking for another goalkeeper to provide worthy back-up to Bernd Leno, it's safe to say that Alex Runarsson has endured a horror four months at the club.

After the Gunners let Emiliano Martinez leave for Aston Villa last summer, Arsenal brought in Runarsson from Dijon as his replacement - but there were immediate question marks surrounding his arrival after failing to convince in Ligue 1.

And since his arrival, those doubts have been confirmed, producing nervy displays and showing a lack of authority between the posts - including a nightmare performance in the Carabao Cup defeat to Manchester City last month.
