Mikel Arteta's Arsenal undroppables after £174m deals struck and ahead of Gabriel Jesus return

We've passed the halfway point in the Premier League season and it's already evident which Arsenal players, when fit and available for selection, will be relied upon by Mikel Arteta in a bid to win the title.

And following a further £54m spend in the January window - thus taking this season's outlay to £174m in total - to bring in Leandro Trossard from Brighton & Hove Albion, Jakub Kiwior from Spezia and Jorginho from Chelsea, the aforementioned debate can be revisited.
