Not really a transfer, but sorta related.
I'm sure it makes sense to Arsenal given they're probably rolling in money right now.
Perhaps his form is being hurt by the way Arsenal set up now in such a defensive manner, or maybe how teams approach playing Arsenal now, but for me he looked a much more exciting player a couple of seasons ago. Whenever I've seen them this season it's felt like I've not really noticed him standing out particularly, much of what he was doing felt more by the numbers and safe.
