Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang retain full faith in Arsene Wenger and are ready to “fight” for the under-fire Arsenal manager.
As the January transfer window came to a close, the mood around Emirates Stadium was lifted by late winter business.
Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang arrived as two proven performers at the highest level and wasted little time displaying their almost telepathic understanding during a 5-1 mauling of Everton.
Pressure is now mounting on Wenger once again, as speculation mounts that he could be on borrowed time , but Mkhitaryan insists Arsenal remain a united cause.
The Armenian told Sky Sports : “It’s not the easiest time for the club, but we are here to help, do our best, and put Arsenal on the level that it was before. I know it’s not going to be easy, but we’re trying, and doing our best.
“It’s a pleasure to work with [Wenger]. He knows a lot about football, he can give you good advice, and I’m very happy to be here.”
Aubameyang said: “I think it is a difficult moment, but I think we’ve played against great teams, and I think we just have to be united, keep going, working hard and that’s the way to follow.
“He is a great manager, everyone knows it. OK, it is not an easy moment, but we have to give our best to show him that we play for him and give everything for him.”
