Our Arsenal fans here in the Transfer Tavern are ecstatic over the winter window signings Arsene Wenger managed to pull off, and will be hoping that it is the start of a purple patch for the long-suffering Gooners.

Our regulars in the bar believe that Wenger had pulled off a couple of masterstrokes in swapping Sanchez for Henrikh Mkhitaryan and bringing in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on deadline day, which coincidently reunited two of the most exciting Borussia Dortmund attackers in recent history.

Whilst speculation is always rife around Wenger’s future, the pressure seemed to be building all too much recently until their spectacular two-legged win over AC Milan, seemed to ease it ever so slightly.

Following that win at the Emirates, Wenger and his men will surely start to look to build a platform for next season, and many of the players could do worse than to look at Liverpool’s Mo Salah for inspiration going into the 18/19 campaign.

Although many believe that Arsenal are dire need of a defensive midfielder, these TWO attack-minded players can revolutionise the Gunners’ frontline next year and create a storm – much like the Egyptian has at Anfield…

Henrikh Mkhitaryan

The former United midfielder will slot in easily at Arsenal many of our punters believe, and they should play to his strengths. Pairing him back up with Aubameyang again will certainly get the excited juices flowing around the Emirates Stadium next year, with the pair creating one of the most dangerous and prolific partnerships during their time in the Bundesliga.

If played regularly and in the right position, Miki should show why Jose Mourinho was wrong to let him go so easily. Drifting all over the attacking line, the Amernian could be the Arsenal Salah in this team.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

The striker is a complete unknown in the Premier League, he tore it up in the Bundesliga for many seasons but coming to England is a different kettle of fish altogether.

However, reuniting with his old pal Miki, he should find that spark quick enough in the last months of the season and Arsenal could have one of the deadliest strikers around should he start firing on all cylinders. Our punters are gearing up for what is going to be one hell of a scrap next year for the Premier League, and are hoping that the pair can fire them back to where they feel they belong.
