Arsenal have signed Henrikh Mkhitaryan and are confident of signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan this month, but questions remain over which system manager Arsene Wenger will deploy to get the most out of the pair.
The Frenchman has lined up with a back four for almost the entire duration of his time in north London but switched to a three-man defence after his team’s 3-0 defeat by Crystal Palace in April. Following the change, Arsenal went on to win the FA Cup with a 3-4-3 formation, overcoming Manchester City in the last four and then Chelsea in the final.
