Arsenal's new hope

Arsenal went from having a "destabilizing January" as stated by Arsene Wenger to a sensational transfer window in a matter of days. From losing Alexis Sanchez after a long drawn saga to securing the services of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Arsenal have shown intent.

Particularly, the arrival of Aubameyang has brought a sense of excitement back to the club (though it has been brought down by a notch or two by the defeat to Swansea). Alexis Sanchez guaranteed goals for Arsenal and the Chilean scoring a third of their goals since the 2014/15 season is a testament to that fact. It now falls on the shoulders of the Gabon man to fill the gap left by Sanchez.

Aubameyang is a player who can be considered as one of Europe's most clinical strikers. The Gabonese international has already scored 21 goals this season, despite not being in good terms with his former club.

He can stretch defences, score with aplomb and has all the qualities to make Arsenal fearsome again. And with Mkhitaryan and Ozil to feed him, expect the Bundesliga bad boy to get among the goals quickly.
