Arsene Wenger's transfer policy is perhaps the most debated in the Premier League, but even the sight of Olympic legend Michael Johnson at the Arsenal training ground left everyone scratching their heads.


The USA great, who won gold at Barcelona 92, Atlanta 96 twice and Sydney 2000, was at the Hertfordshire base ahead of the Gunners' Champions League clash against Greek side Olympiacos on Wednesday night.

The likes of Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlaim and Carl Jenkinson will be licking their lips at the prospect of improving their already formidable pace, while giant defender Per Mertesacker could well do with listening in too.


Johnson has previous with Arsenal, as well as Manchester United, having previously welcomed some of the young academy stars to his 'Michael Johnson Performance Centre' in McKinney, Texas.

His appearance at London Colney mirrors the recent teaming up of current Olympic champions Usain Bolt with Manchester United after the Jamaican revealed his dream was to play at Old Trafford.


And Team GB sprint star Adam Gemili was himself a semi-professional footballer before turning to track and field.
