Former Arsenal defender Emmanuel Eboue has named who he thinks has been the Gunners’ best signing this year.
The Gunners are currently in control of their own destiny in all four major competitions. They are top of the Premier League by four points, they are top of the Champions League table, ahead in the Carabao Cup semi-final, and into the FA Cup fourth round.

Mikel Arteta will hope that his side can continue this sustained success, most of which is down to their incredible recruitment.
Jamie Carragher recently said that Arsenal have the best squad in the Premier League, and their summer signings are a big part of this.
Eboue says Zubimendi is Arsenal’s “best signing”
In the summer, the Gunners signed Martin Zubimendi for £55m from Real Sociedad, Noni Madueke from Chelsea, Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace and more.
Former Arsenal defender Emmanuel Eboue has said the Gunners best signing of the summer was Martin Zubimendi based on the impact he’s had. Eboue told AceOdds: “Zubimendi has been Arsenal’s best signing of the season.
“He’s not tall but he’s very strong and is a great defensive midfielder. As a defender myself, when you have a defensive midfielder like Zubimendi in front of you playing like this, work hard for the team, as a defender you are happy and relaxed at the back. He’s a really good signing for Arsenal and he can also chip in with goals.”
Eboue also hailed Mosquera and Hincapie signings
Zubimendi was named as the best signing, but the former Gunner also praised Arsenal in signing Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie as backup defenders to the likes of William Saliba and Gabriel.
He said: “I’m very happy that Arsenal got Hincapié and Mosquera in the summer. I think they are very good. To be honest, I watched them when Gabriel and Saliba were injured, and some Arsenal fans were scared about that as that was the first time they were playing together. They were thinking that Hincapie and Mosquera were going to play badly.”
“But you can see they’ve played very well when Gabriel or Saliba haven’t been there. I think both of them have proven to be very good signings for Arsenal.”
