Piers Morgan excludes many big names from his greatest ever Arsenal XI
Perhaps the biggest exclusion from Morgan’s XI is Ashley Cole.

Cole is regarded as one of the best left-backs in England’s history but Morgan has included Zinchenko instead.

Cole, of course, left the club on bad terms and that must have played a part in Morgan’s decision.
