Sven Mislintat’s departure from Arsenal has come as a shock as the turbulence behind the scenes at the club comes to the surface.The German will officially leave on February 8, 2019just over a year after being made head of recruitment at the club.10
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 8/10
It’s been almost a year since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joined Arsenal and he’s been good so far.He’s a world-class forward, scoring 24 goals in 36 Premier League appearances and always looks a threat, especially when playing alongside fellow striker Alexandre Lacazette but manager Unai Emery is often reluctant to play two strikers in a game.Aubameyang, 29, has a few good years left in him and the only concern for Arsenal may be that bigger clubs could pursue the Gabon international if the team doesn’t progress. For now though, his future at the Emirates looks very secure.10Henrikh Mkhitaryan 5/10
Another January 2018 recruit, Henrikh Mkhitaryan was part of the swap deal that saw Alexis Sanchez move to Manchester United.The Armenian has hardly set the world alight at Arsenal but he’s had much more of a positive impact than Sanchez has at Old Trafford.Injury has held Mkhitaryan back a bit but Gooners will be hoping he can improve after his latest setback – a foot injury sustained in December.10Konstantinos Mavropanos 5/10
The 21-year-old has made just three appearances for Arsenal since signing over a year ago but a lot of this is due to injury.Konstantinos Mavropanos picked up a groin strain at the start of the season and only returned to training this month.However, he’s viewed as a long-term investment and could even get his chance to impress soon with injuries to Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding and Nacho Monreal’s leaving their defensive resources depleted.The Greek was signed for 2.2million – peanuts in today’s market.Lucas Torreira 9/10
It’s between Aubameyang and Lucas Torreira as Mislintat’s best recruit but the Uruguayan edges it because he was a player that Arsenal desperately needed.Torreira is a tough-tackling defensive midfielder, who breaks up the play of the opposition well and has given Arsenal the steel they have lacked in the middle of the park for so long.He’s popular with the fans because he’s a player who wears his heart on his sleeve too. This was in full flow when he scored during Arsenal’s fantastic comeback win over north London rivals Tottenham in December.10Bernd Leno 6/10
Bernd Leno started out as Emery’s No.2 goalkeeper but the German got his chance to impress in late September and hasn’t looked back since.He’s not the perfect goalkeeper but is an improvement on an ageing Petr Cech, who is retiring at the end of the season.10Stephan Lichtsteiner 4/10
The Swiss veteran joined on a free transfer from Juventus in the summer but has struggled to replicate the same form as he did in Turin, so far.Whether that’s because the players he’s around are not as good or if, at 35, the years are catching up on him but Lichtsteiner has been distinctly average.10Sokratis Papastathopoulos 5/10
Sokratis Papasthathopolous joined in the summer from Borussia Dortmund for 18million and has been decent value for the fee.The Greek has shown good leadership in some games – working well with Laurent Koscielny to keep Eden Hazard quiet last weekend during their victory over Chelsea.10Matteo Guendouzi 6/10
This score might be a bit harsh as Matteo Guendouzi has shown he has talent in some games but the Frenchman hasn’t done it consistently enough at present.10Unai Emery 7/10
When Arsene Wenger said goodbye to Arsenal after 22 years at the club, whoever succeeded the Frenchman was going to be the most important piece of recruitment under Mislintat.10Arsenal have reportedly activated a clause in Nacho Monreal's contract to extend the defender's stay at the Emirates. Monreal is in the final year of his current deal which is set to expire in the
