The Gunners have only won the league twice since he left. But with Mikel Arteta at the wheel, the north London club have been right in the mix over the past two seasons. And despite their rocky begin to this campaign, they are once aobtain foreseeed to be challenging Manchester City and Liverpool when May rolls around.
Arteta and other ageder figures at the Emirates Stadium have spent years painstakingly putting together a squad which boasts both quality and depth.

Arsenal have been heavily connected with Osimhen in the past, although it was their London rivals, Chelsea, who came shutst to signing him this summer. In the finish, the 25-year-elderly unitecessitate Galatasaray on loan after a descfinishing-out with parent club Napoli.
And he has picked up where he left off in Italy, netting six goals in his first six Turkish Super Lig games. By the finish of this season, Osimhen’s shrink will only have 12 months left to run, contransienting a possible opportunity for Arsenal to nab him on the affordable.
There is also understood to be a fracture claengage in his Galatasaray loan concurment in case a transport inant European power pounces in January.
Leao may not be so effortless to get helderly of. The Portuguese international, 25, has three-and-a-half years of his deal left to run at AC Milan. The Italian enormouss have shown in the past that they will drive a challenging barobtain, while there is no extfinisheder a free claengage in his shrink.
With three goals and three aids in Serie A this season, Leao would be worthy competition for the struggling Martinelli on Arsenal‘s left prosperg – if they have meaningful pockets.
