Aaron Ramsdale: Proved many of his doubters wrong with an excellent start after controversially arriving from Sheffield United. Struggled to maintain that form in the second half of the season unfortunately, but has still revolutionised the way Arsenal play out from the back. 8.
Bernd Leno: Could have reacted poorly to being immediately displaced in the starting line up after not doing too much to let Arsenal down in his three seasons prior. Stayed professional though and impressed against Aston Villa when called upon. Leaves the club with plenty of well wishes. 6.
Takehiro Tomiyasu: Probably Arsenal's signing of the summer - and there's plenty of competition in that department. Defensively immaculate and technically excellent he instantly transformed the right back position from one of weakness into one of strength. Sadly injuries prohibited him from scoring higher and the Gunners will be hopeful his muscle problems are behind him. 8.
