Arsenal fans may remember the club went a bit crazy back on deadline day in 2011.

The north London side brought in Per Mertesacker, Yossi Benayoun, Mikel Arteta and, of course, Brazilian left-back Andre Santos.

He arrived from Fenerbahce with a rather glowing reputation and was a regular in the Brazil setup. Some even said he was reminiscent of Real Madrid legend Roberto Carlos.

Sadly, he wasn't exactly Carlos-esque, turning in displays that were more befitting of someone like Pascal Cygan.

There were a few good moments, such as the goal against Chelsea in that famous 5-3 win and he did also score to help seal Champions League football against West Brom at the end of the 2011/12 season.

However, most of Santos' time at the Gunners was spent way out of position, turning in 2/10 defensive disaster-classes.

Swapping shirts with Robin van Persie at half-time away at Manchester United didn't exactly make him popular in the eyes of the fans either.

But where is he now? Well, he had a loan spell at Gremio in 2013 before sealing a permanent move away from Arsenal to fellow Brazilian side Flamengo that very same year.

SANTOS GOES FULL JOURNEYMAN

Amazingly, he's still going strong at the ripe old age of 34, playing in the Turkish second division for Boluspor. Yeah, we've never heard of them either.

The left-back - who plays pretty much as a left-winger now - is actually their captain, scoring 14 goals in 38 appearances, not a bad return that.

However, that isn't the only bizarre team he has featured for in the last four years.

In 2014, FC Goa took a punt on him, where he made just 12 appearances before a short loan spell back in Brazil with Botafogo.

Then, in 2015, Santos had a season with Swiss side FC Wil 1900, where he was actually pretty good, scoring nine goals in Switzerland's second tier.

What a collection of clubs.

Just one more brilliant story to come from his career; back in 2014 while at Flamengo, Santos was actually beaten up by the club's fans after a disappointing loss.

“I am absolutely saddened and shaken by what happened. It [the aggression] was the work of a minority of supporters but as a professional footballer and a father I never expected to experience a situation like that. I didn’t see the supporters coming and when they started hitting me the only thing I could think of was to try to protect my head,” said Santos at the time.

Mental.
