Pirès was signed by Arsenal for £6 million in 2000. Initially, Pirès' form was indifferent, and some people criticised him after his comments that the English game was too physical. However, he slowly began to regain the form he had shown at Metz, and by the next season Pirès had fully got to grips with the English game and had one of his best seasons, being voted Arsenal's player of the season, as they won the league title.
On 11 July 2008, Arsenal fans voted Pirès as the club's sixth greatest player of all time.
