The January transfer window provided Arsenal with an opportunity to reassess what's best for their loanees during the second half of the season.
And it's safe to say the Gunners made the most of that chance as a number of players were recalled before heading back out on loan whilst Salah-Eddine Oulad M'Hand is back for good following an injury-disrupted time with Hull City and Harry Clarke joined Ipswich Town on a permanent deal.
Then on transfer deadline day, a host of loan deals were announced - three in relation to the Arsenal first-team - which means altogether the club has 29 players plying their trade elsewhere between now and the end of the season as some look for regular game time and others to aid their development.
