As the winter transfer window entered the acceleration phase, Arsenal received bad news when Alexis Sanchez refused to sign a contract and wanted to leave under the solicitation of Man City, Man United and Chelsea. And then, the "Gunners" had to let this striker come to Old Trafford, thereby exchanging for the service of Mkhitaryan.
Lacazette alone in the summer is not enough, although this striker is the most expensive player in the team's history. However, with their current 6th place, the "Gunners" cannot wait any longer because they do not want to have a second consecutive season of "drinking C2" ( some Europa League).
Arsenal face two big problems that need to be resolved quickly: Finding a replacement for Sanchez and tying up Mesut Ozil. Unlike the hesitation of recent years, the "Gunners" have solved both problems in just the last day of the transfer market with the most important factor, which is money.
After negotiating with Dortmund about Aubameyang's case, Arsenal immediately nodded in the last minute with the price equal to the number that BVB shouted. With 56 million pounds in handover, the "Gunners" welcomed the Gabon striker to London and also set a new transfer record for the club. Aubameyang quickly filmed a commercial for his new team's debut and for the first time knew the taste of the Premier League.
In parallel with the sale of Aubameyang, the other big problem named Ozil was also completely resolved. The German midfielder hesitated to sign a contract after Sanchez's departure. However, with the Aubameyang contract, Ozil has been a bit greedy. Along with that, the "Gunners" have turned him into the highest-paid player in the history of the foggy country at 305,000 pounds/week with a new contract for 3 and a half years. Ozil nodded and posted a close photo with the team immediately.
Thus, with the addition of Aubameyang, the "Gunners" 4-man attack has been completed with the framework of Ozil - Aubameyang - Mkhitaryan - Lacazette. Ozil has had half a season to understand what Lacazette wants in attack, while Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan have played well together at BVB in previous years. It is clear that Arsenal has become stronger after only the last day of the winter market.
For the first time, and perhaps last time under Wenger, Arsenal fans have lived in such a "rich man" feeling despite their great financial potential. It is not known how the new contracts will play, but at least Arsenal also showed the true shape of a superficial, instead of being assigned the image of a water gun every time there is a transfer period.
