Aubameyang or Sanchez? Power ranking January’s top 10 Premier League transfers, with Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea & Liverpool deals

3) Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Manchester United to Arsenal)

Henrikh Mkhitaryan looks an ideal signing for Arsenal

Not at his best for Manchester United, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan could really enjoy his football again playing under Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.

The Armenia international was one of Europe’s best playmakers during his time at Borussia Dortmund, and never seemed an ideal Jose Mourinho player.

With old team-mate Aubameyang joining him at the Emirates Stadium, Mkhitaryan could finally have the system and players around him to get him playing at his best again – and he didn’t cost the Gunners a penny.

2) Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund to Arsenal)

A close second on our list, Aubameyang looks an elite striker and an absolutely ideal signing for Arsenal given their needs in attack this January.

There aren’t many players Arsenal could have afforded who’d be realistic replacements for Alexis Sanchez, but the prolific and pacey Gabon international seems to tick all the boxes.

BBC Sport list the 28-year-old’s fee at £56million, which, in this crazily inflated market, also looks an absolute bargain for a player who scored 141 goals in 213 games for Borussia Dortmund.

1) Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal to Manchester United)

Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United was surely the top transfer of the January window

One of the best players in the Premier League and one of the top attacking players on the planet, Manchester United fans will still be pinching themselves at landing Alexis Sanchez.

Undoubtedly one of the biggest Premier League transfers of recent history, Sanchez should be a superb addition at United after standing out as one of few world class players at Arsenal.

The Chile international hasn’t got off to the best of starts at Old Trafford but it seems only a matter of time before he’s setting the Premier League alight again.
