It all looked doom and gloom for Arsenal at the beginning of the summer.

A disappointing end to the 2018/19 season means there will be no Champions League football for a third straight year at the Emirates Stadium.

And to make matters worse, it emerged that Arsenal would go into the transfer window on a very limited budget.

However, fortunes can change very quickly in football and as the 2019/20 Premier League season begins, things are looking good for the Gunners.

They’ve signed highly rated winger Nicolas Pepe, midfielder Dani Ceballos on loan from Real Madrid as well as William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli.

And Arsenal had an exceptional deadline day where they brought in left-back Kieran Tierney from Celtic as well David Luiz from rivals Chelsea for a mere £8million.

There is now a wave of optimism among Gooners everywhere and one fan went to great lengths to thank the club’s head of football Raul Sanllehi.

Sanllehi played an instrumental role in helping these deals happen and this Arsenal fan decided to stop the Spaniard in his car and thank him for “saving us in one window.”

Below you can see the hilarious video where the Arsenal fan thanks ‘Don’ Raul Sanllehi.

And below you can see more tweets from Arsenal fans praising Sanllehi further.

Raul deserves a rest now. He's earned it. Increase his salary. Name a stand after him. Heck, name the whole stadium after him. How about a statue? Can he be flown in by an helicopter that drops him in his directors box before every home match? — O'blade (@ObiladeOA) August 8, 2019
