Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's electric start at Barcelona coupled with Dusan Vlahovic's continued growth in Serie A with new side Juventus has been a bitter pill for Arsenal fans to swallow.
The Gunners had been heavily touted to make a big money move for a new number 9 in the mid-season market but for whatever reason, they were actually weakened in that department when the January 31 deadline passed by.
Edu's failure to replace the out of favour Aubameyang has left Mikel Arteta with just Alexandre Lacazette, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli to make do in that position until the end of the 2021/22 campaign.
