He made just five appearances for the North London club.

The 16-capped Swede was a part of Arsenal's squad that went unbeaten in the 2003-04 but didn't pick up a Premier League medal.

He was also loaned to West Ham in January 2004 before being released by Arsenal in the summer.

Shaaban still pays attention to football and is good friends with fellow Swede and ex-Arsenal team-mate Freddie Ljungberg.

He was also pleased to see Arsenal dominate Tottenham in the North London Derby last weekend.

Sharing a throwback picture of Thierry Henry's iconic knee slide from Arsenal's 3-0 win over Spurs in 2002, he tweeted: "It’s this kind of day today!"
