In January 2023, Arsenal missed out on £86M Mudryk and signed Trossard for £26m instead.
One became embroiled in a doping scandal. The other helped deliver Arsenal's league title.

Because it's been exactly 26 days since Arsenal won the league.
At just 19, Bukayo Saka tweeted Arsenal fans: “You deserve better.”
At 24, he delivered the Premier League title… and replied with the better we deserved all along.
24 hits different it’s also been exactly 24 days since Arsenal won the league title.
After 22 years of being mocked for not winning the league title, it’s now been 22 days since Arsenal won the premier league title.
To put that into perspective, it’s been 3 weeks and 1 day.
