Despite the financial impact of the coronavirus, Arsenal made big moves in the summer transfer market.
His biggest signing came on the last day of the transfer window: Thomas Partey.
The Ghanaian came to the club from Atlético de Madrid for 45 million pounds, a fee that makes him the fourth most important signing for Arsenal in its history.
So with that in mind, who are Arsenal’s top 20 signings and how did they fare?
We have decided to analyze his most important signings and classify them from “incredible” to “complete failure”.
You can see our picks below …
AMAZING:
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang | Dortmund to Arsenal | £ 57.38m
Alexis Sanchez | Man United to Arsenal | £ 38.25 million
Two really brilliant signings.
Aubameyang has scored 72 goals in 114 games for Arsenal, while Sánchez was sensational wherever he lined up.
GREAT:
Bernd Leno | Leverkusen to Arsenal | £ 22.5 million
Santi Cazorla | Malaga to Arsenal | £ 17.1 million
Sylvain Wiltord | Bordeaux to Arsenal | £ 15.75 million
Leno has been one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League since his arrival in 2018.
Cazorla would have placed himself in the incredible category had he not suffered so many long-term injuries.
Arsenal fans fondly remember Wiltord from his successful four-year stint at the club.
Good:
Alexandre Lacazette | Lyon to Arsenal | £ 47.7 million
Mesut Ozil | Real Madrid to Arsenal | £ 42.3 million
Xhaka Granite | Gladbach to Arsenal £ 40.5 million
Kieran Tierney | Celtic to Arsenal | £ 24.3 million
Jose Antonio Reyes | Sevilla to Arsenal | £ 18 million
Lacazette and Xhaka have been decent for Arsenal, but it could be argued that they have not yet lived up to their high prices.
Ozil was brilliant for Arsenal during his first four years at the club. It’s a shame that his current situation has tarnished his legacy at the club.
Tierney looks promising, but he has suffered numerous injuries during his brief stint.
Reyes (RIP) was part of Arsenal’s invincible season but failed to really adapt to English football.
Disappointing:
Nicolas Pepe | Lille to Arsenal | £ 72 million
Lucas Torreira | Sampdoria to Arsenal | £ 25.79m
Calum Chambers | Southampton to Arsenal | £ 18.21m
Danny Welbeck | Man United to Arsenal | £ 18 million
Pepe, the most important signing in Arsenal’s history, struggled during his first season at the club. However, it still has time to justify its price.
Torreira failed to become a mainstay of the team before his summer departure.
Chambers has failed to develop his potential, while injuries Welbeck’s time at the club was full of injuries.
Full flop:
Shkodran Mustafi | Valencia to Arsenal | £ 36.9 million
Henrikh Mkhitaryan | Man United to Arsenal | £ 30.6 million
Lucas Perez | Deportivo to Arsenal | £ 18m
Mustafi has made mistake after mistake at Arsenal. It’s amazing how he’s still at the club.
Mkhitaryan scored nine goals in 58 games for the club.
Pérez only made 11 Premier League appearances for the club, scoring once.
Time will tell:
Thomas Partey | Atlético to Arsenal | £ 45 million
William Saliba | Saint-Etienne to Arsenal | £ 27 million
Gabriel | Lille to Arsenal | £ 23.4m
These signings cannot be judged yet.
Partey will kick off his career at Arsenal on Saturday, where he is likely to face Man City.
Saliba is still young and has yet to establish himself in the first team, while early indications point to Gabriel being a great signing.
