Player Arsenal sold this summer has already ‘improved a lot’ according to his new manager

Arsenal sold a number of notable players during the summer window. Gabriel Martinelli departed for Al Hilal in a club-record £60million sale, while Leandro Trossard joined Besiktas for around £17million after three productive years in north London.

Fabio Vieira completed a permanent move to Hamburg, where he has already become a fan favourite . And Reiss Nelson, who was the longest-serving player at the club, had his contract mutually terminated and joined Feyenoord.

Also late in the window, Gabriel Jesus got a move to Barcelona for around £8.6million, four years after joining from Manchester City for £45million.
