Lukas Podolski – Only at the club for the first half of the season, Lukas Podolski was shipped out on loan to Inter Milan after struggling to impress, though he did manage a few goals. 6/10.
Alexis Sanchez – A world class player and one of the signings of the season, Alexis Sanchez finished as Arsenal’s top scorer and his wondergoal all but sealed the FA Cup final win for the Gunners. A player blessed with amazing skill and adored by fans for his work rate, the Chilean has everything in his locker to become a legend at the Emirates Stadium. 9/10.
Danny Welbeck – A disappointment since joining from Manchester United, Danny Welbeck only managed eight goals and really has to improve, even if he was used out wide a little too often. 6/10.
Olivier Giroud – Not everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s hard to argue that the French forward had a lot of really good games this season, scoring 18 goals, his best tally in an Arsenal shirt, including a deft finish to make it 4-0 in the cup final. 8/10.
Arsene Wenger – Onto the manager, the Arsenal boss made a brilliant signing in Alexis Sanchez, even if the others didn’t really work out. Still, in unearthing young talents like Bellerin and Coquelin, the Frenchman has shown he can still get the best out of players who aren’t necessarily big names. The club could have done much better in the Premier League and Champions League, but a second FA Cup in a row has the fans happy again after a rough spell. 7.5/10.
