Arsene Wenger moved for Danny Welbeck on transfer deadline day but he might have saved himself £16m.
Olivier Giroud left Arsenal looking light up front after an ankle injury ruled him out until at least December.

Yaya Sanogo, who was criticised for his poor performance during the 1-1 draw with Leicester, was on target twice for France Under-21s during a 5-1 victory against Kazakhstan.
The raw 21-year old scored his first after his shot was deflected, then raced through on goal ahead to nip in ahead of the goalkeeper and provide a nice finish past a lunging defender.
Who needs Danny Welbeck?
