'I walked in, won a trophy and walked out' - Kallstrom opens up on his bizarre Arsenal loan spell

The Sweden international joined the Gunners on loan in January 2014 despite suffering a broken back - but he regards his time in London as a success

Kim Kallstrom has opened up on his bizarre loan spell with Arsenal, which he maintains was a success despite spending most of his time with the Gunners injured with a broken back.

Kallstrom joined Arsenal on loan from Spartak Moscow on transfer deadline day in January 2014, with the move sanctioned despite a back injury being discovered during the defensive midfielder's medical.

The ex-Sweden international made only four appearances for Arsenal and is regularly regarded as one of the worst signings made by the club in the Premier League era - although he did help the club end their nine-year trophy drought by winning the FA Cup.
