Bacary has clocked up well over 150 appearances for Arsenal and yet it's hard to remember him making a single glaring error since his arrival in the summer of 2007. That pretty much sums up the French right-back - he is Arsenal's Mr Reliable.
Bacary took to English football like a duck to water, proving himself to be an exemplary defender. His positional awareness, tough tackling and aerial power have strengthened Arsenal's right side and few wingers get the better of him
The Frenchman has also impressed on the front foot. Neat and tidy in possession, his willingness to overlap gives Arsenal the width they need to stretch defences and he is one of the finest crossers at the Club.
Bacary is a 'non-homegrown' player in Arsenal's official 2011/12 Premier League squad.
