There's a certain inevitability when it comes to the transfer window, although admittedly Alexis Sanchez's potential move does prove otherwise, and now it seems Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be joining Arsenal and their fans will be very happy with him.

At the beginning of the transfer window not many of us would have expected Alexis Sanchez to be moving to Manchester United. Manchester for sure but he looked destined to be wearing the blue of the Premier League leaders City.

Things have turned round pretty quickly and he's now looking much closer to being a Manchester United player before the week is done, although reportedly Chelsea could still try and hijack the deal.

Either way Arsene Wenger needs to replace the outgoing Chilean and it looks like he's landed on Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, undoubtedly a very good choice.

The Gabonese forward won Bundesliga's top goalscorer award last season and fans will for sure be pleased with the acquisition and they'll be even happier with what he said about Spurs in 2013, via the Daily Mail:

"Tottenham tried to sign me in June 2012. But in the end everything became a bit weird. I didn't really like the way things were done.

"If Spurs ever came back in for me, I'd say no."

The former AC Milan player reportedly handed in a transfer request yesterday to try and force a move away from the club who he has been with since 2012 and often been linked with a move away from.

Real Madrid and PSG have often been linked with him but now it looks certain that instead he will join the Gunners.

Will his move get them back into Champions League contention?
