Arsenal are flying on the pitch as Mikel Arteta’s side swept past Fulham in the Premier League season opener thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continuing his fine form. 

The Spaniard is already utilising the new options he has at his disposal, with depth t the Gunners’ squad now giving them a great chance to compete for a top four finish. Bukayo Saka and Nicolas Pepe were on the bench against Fulham. While Brazilians Willian and Gabriel have made an instant impact.

There is more to come, too, with Emi Martinez leaving, likely for Aston Villa, so a new back-up goalkeeper will be needed. While Arteta is keen to sell one player to boost his funds, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Hector Bellerin good options to fund a deal for Thomas Partey or Houssem Aouar.
