Arsenal were not a busy club in the January transfer window with several players exiting the first team squad and no new ones coming in.
Defender Auston Trusty, the 19-year old who was purchased from MLS side Colarado Rapids and immediately loaned back, was the only bit of inward business done by the club.
Meanwhile, the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sead Kolasinac were allowed to leave with Ainsley Maitland-Niles also heading out on loan.
Although they did not do any major business, there were no shortage of big name players being linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium.
Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, who was with Fiorentina, was the most high profile name that the Gunners were rumoured to be interested in but the Serbian instead made a £66m move to the Turin side.
Strikers were the theme of the January rumours and other notable names included Real Sociedad hitman Alexander Isak and Manchester United’s French forward Anthony Martial.
Although certain deals did not materialise in January there are still reports suggesting the moves could happen in the summer with Arthur Melo amongst the names still being linked.
Here is how some of the biggest names who were linked with Arsenal have performed since the January transfer window closed:
