Arsene Wenger's side kicked off the Premier League campaign in exciting, if not entirely convincing, fashion against Leicester City, coming from behind to register a 4-3 victory thanks to a late Olivier Giroud winner.

"We have to make a choice between efficiency on the field and financial interest and most of the time if you can find a good compromise, it's better," said the Arsenal manager.
"But in this case, I think I prioritise the fact that he will be useful on the sporting side."
The win over Leicester was the kind of performance that suggested the inconsistencies that dogged Arsenal last term have not gone away.
Wenger will hope a repeat of last season's victory at the bet365 stadium will make a more compelling case for his side to be considered strong title contenders.
But their status among the leading clubs will not be confirmed until the transfer window has passed, with Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain among the players who are also out of contract at the end of the season.
And as far as Wenger is concerned, Sanchez, Ozil and Oxlade-Chamberlain will stay, even if that means they will be allowed to leave for free at the end of the campaign.
For now, Wenger's focus remains on the trip to Stoke, where Arsenal won for the first time in seven attempts last May.
