Arsenal fans should be all too familiar with a triple transfer merry-go-round and another may be required for their Serge Gnabry return wish to be granted this summer.
Cast your minds back to the 2018 January transfer window when the Gunners were able to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but only due to working in unison with London rivals Chelsea and Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund to get a total of three deals over the line on deadline day.
After Arsenal had got the ball rolling, Dortmund brought in Michy Batshuayi on loan for the remainder of the 2017-18 season and needing a replacement for the Belgian, the Blues swooped for Olivier Giroud who had slipped down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium following the arrival of Aubameyang.
