Mikel Arteta's Arsenal squad was thinned in January when he allowed four players to leave - although all of them will return to the Gunners at the end of the season.
There was a lot of talk about Arsenal's incoming transfer business as Leandro Trossard, Jakub Kiwior and Jorginho all arrived for a combined £60m, but not too much was mentioned about the four who departed.
The Gunners are vying for their first Premier League title in 19 years and undoubtedly the attention has been on their scintillating form this term. However, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Miguel Azeez, Marquinhos and Cedric were all sent out on loan in the January transfer window to get some regular game time.
