The tricky Brazilian was given his first start just days later in the big match against Arsenal - and he scored. We're not saying that the investment is already paying off, but maybe if he continues like that... Gabon captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, meanwhile, returned to London but changed his colours. After just over six months in Barcelona, he accepted the call and joined Chelsea. It should be an awkward meeting with Arsenal, the club that discarded him and let him walk out for free. Speaking of the Blues, they
