Mikel Arteta hasn't been afraid of making big calls during his time at Arsenal, and the manager has often been rewarded for making decisions others wouldn't have been prepared to make.
It was Arteta who allowed Mesut Ozil to leave the club, and it was also the Spaniard who was prepared to spend big on Aaron Ramsdale, who has exceeded many people's expectations since joining from Sheffield United. However, the biggest recent call concerned Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
When Aubameyang began the season as Arsenal captain, few would have expected him to finish the campaign elsewhere, and no one would have expected him to move on for nothing. With the Gunners preparing to take on Southampton in the league on Sunday, it will be hard not to think back to the moment the Gabon striker's long goodbye began.
