Ranking Arsenal's signings in the 2017/2018 season

#2 - Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Mkhi - The Perfect Fit for the Gunners

It was a busy January for Arsenal. Alexis Sanchez was so desperate to move out, and Manchester United made an offer that the Gunners couldn't refuse. They handed him a hefty paycheck and the unsettled Armenian stalwart, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, packed his bags from United, and he put pen to paper on a long-term deal at Arsenal. Mkhi scored just twice in 11 appearances for the Gunners this season, yet, he finds himself to be at the second spot in this list. Why?

The answer is plain and simple. According to me, Alexis Sanchez was the most important player at Arsenal. He was so instrumental for the Gunners, but, was someone who wanted to do all by himself. He had excellent speed and ball control, but his over ambitiousness to tear apart an entire defensive unit all at once resulted in lost possession which proved decisive in many of the matches. In Mkhi, we found a perfect replacement for Sanchez. He is more of a team player, and his fierce shots and dribbling abilities make him one of the most feared players on the pitch. His creativity clubbed with that of Ozil should do wonders for the club this season. On the other hand, Sanchez has been struggling to find his rhythm at United, where he has received widespread criticism for disrupting the club's rhythmic gameplay.

In short, United's loss is Arsenal's gain.
