PIERS MORGAN has ruffled a few feathers with his all-time Arsenal Premier League XI.
Piers, who is known to be a huge Arsenal fan, reckons that four of the current squad would make the grade alongside a host of legends of the club.
The broadcaster shared his selected XI with his 8.7million followers on X.
His team started with David Seaman between the sticks and a back four of Jurrien Timber, Tony Adams, Gabriel Magalhaes and Ashley Cole.
Patrick Vieira would wear the captain’s armband in Piers’ team and would partner Declan Rice in the middle of the park.
Out wide Piers chose Bukayo Saka and Robert Pires as he opted for a classic 4-4-2 formation.

The 60-year-old couldn’t help but finish off his team with dynamic duo Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp leading the line.
Fans online were shocked to see that so many current players had made it into the side.
Despite the quality Timber, Gabriel, Saka and Rice so clearly possess, supporters pointed out that they are yet to win the league title as Arsenal players.
One fan wrote on X: “No player in this our current line-up gets into my all time 11 until they win major trophies.”
And another added: “Until our current team gets a UCL or EPL trophy, they don’t make the all-time Arsenal Premier League XI yet.”
Other Gooners clamoured for the likes of Sol Campbell, Martin Keown, Lee Dixon, Cesc Fabregas and Freddie Ljungberg to be included.
Mikel Arteta‘s current Arsenal side may not have to wait long until they do finally get their hands on some silverware.
The Gunners are four points clear at the top of the Premier League and finished the Champions League league phase in first place with a flawless record of eight wins from eight.
Arsenal also have one foot in the Carabao Cup final following their 3-2 victory over Chelsea in their semi-final first leg.
