#2 Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Manchester United "flop" is a blessing in disguise for the Gunners. Mkhitaryan moved to United in 2016 for a fee between £27 - £30 million from Borrusia Dortmund. However, the Armenian star has struggled for first team football under Jose Mourinho, and eventually, he was included in a swap deal with Arsenal.

Regardless of his game under Jose, Mkhitaryan has given fine performances for the Gunners and he certainly is an important player to the squad. Unai Emery counts on him for every game as the work rate and playmaking skills he possesses are substantial.

He is a right winger on paper but moves into the centre, with Bellerin taking on the wing. And this pair has shown great understanding and efforts in creating attacks.

Ozil was not included in the squad for the game against West Ham through illness and the playmaking job was solely on Mkhitaryan's shoulders, as Ramsey prefers to be the man putting the ball in the back of the net.

The Armenian has not disappointed when he's got the chance to make the difference.
