Football FanCast recently asked Arsenal fans to rank their club’s summer signings. Perhaps unsurprisingly, tenacious midfielder Lucas Torreira topped the poll, whilst exciting young surprise package Matteo Guendouzi has also proved a popular acquisition.

However, new centre-back Sokratis Papastathopoulos has failed to inspire the Gunners faithful so far, coming rock bottom of the poll, beneath veteran free transfer addition Stephan Lichtsteiner. See the full results below.

Whilst the club’s fans appear unimpressed, new boss Unai Emery ought to be delighted with the 6ft 1in Greece international’s arrival in North London.

For too long, the Gunners have lacked a physical, powerful, uncompromising figure at the back. The 30-year-old’s presence and experience should add a great deal of calm and authority to Arsenal’s rearguard. 

The Emirates Stadium faithful will likely be glad to be proved wrong about the former Borussia Dortmund player this season and will be hoping that he can in fact have a transformative impact upon their club’s defence.
