Traditionally, the Frenchman never would have thought of the deal as good business, but in a fast-moving market it was felt they would not be able to replace him with anyone cheaper. It was sold as a good piece of business to fans, and the hope was — along with Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang — he would have fresh motivation to reach new levels.

In what has seemed like a roller-coaster start to the season for Arsenal, Unai Emery is facing questions over his position as the club's manager after just 16 months into his tenure.
