News that Andre Santos has moved to Gremio on loan until the end of the season will have pleased Arsenal fans, following a disastrous year and a half with the Gunners for the Brazilian.

Signed from Fenerbache for £6.2m in August 2011, the 29-year-old left back made just 13 Premier League starts and will be remembered best for swapping shirts with ex-Gooner Robin van Persie, as the teams walked off at half-time in Manchester.

To make matters worse, Santos has endured a torrid 45 minutes at Old Trafford and his poor form has continued ever since, forcing Arsene Wenger to dip into the January sales to sign Spanish defender, Nacho Monreal.

Above, we've put together a gallery of the ten worst Premier League imports, starting with El Hadji Diouf, who cost Liverpool £10m in 2002.
