Howard Wilkinson: Last News

Daily Star Sport has taken a look at some of the best bargains.Signed by Arsenal in 1997 for £500kThe formidable former French forward racked up a cumulative transfer fee in excess of £100m during his playing days, but it was one of Arsene Wenger's early gambles which saw the teenager catapulted into the spotlight. Anelka scored 28 goals in a two-year stint in the capital, before the Gunners raked in a handsome profit on their investment with a £22m sale to Real Madrid.Signed by Chelsea in 2012 for £7mAzpilicueta's arrival from Marseille in the summer of 2012 was one of the least heralded of the Roman Abramovich era, despite team-mate for both club and country Juan Mata describing him as the 'complete player'.

Manchester United and Leeds - but United did do their bitter rivals a favour in the past over the deal that saw Eric Cantona shipped off to Old Trafford.The fiery Frenchman etched his name into United folklore after his rotten stint at Elland Road.Cantona netted 82 times after joining the Red Devils, with his goals instrumental in United ruling the roost in the mid-90s.Inspired by their maverick frontman, United won four Premier League titles in five years before Cantona hung up his boots at the age of 30.But despite the 55-year-old's unprecedented success at Old Trafford, Leeds could hardly wait to ditch him after a row with former boss Howard Wilkinson back in 1992.However, there are contradicting tales as to just how much United paid to prise the hitman away from Leeds.And despite historic claims that United paid £1.6million for Cantona's services, it's since been alleged by former United chairman Martin Edwards that the club only paid a £1m - and they agreed that Leeds could claim that they'd banked a greater fee to appease their fans."I am in my office and Bill Fotherby rang and asked about buying Denis Irwin. I said no but, thinking on my feet, just said: 'What about Cantona?'" Edwards recalled.Do you think Cantona is Man Utd's best ever signing? Let us know in the comments section"I had never had a conversation about Cantona with Alex but had read that Howard Wilkinson and him didn't get on."So I blurted it out.
