Arsenal fans may have been looking for on-field recruitments in January, but instead their first arrival is slightly different... a new plane!

Olivier Giroud, Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil, Hector Bellerin and Santi Cazorla all make the cut, with huge images of them behind the wing.

The aircraft, supplied by the club's premier sponsors Emirates, boasts beds across two decks, with 2,500 channels to choose from on the entertainment system.
The plane aside, Arsenal have the small matter of a Premier League campaign to concern themselves with.
Tottenham's win over Chelsea on Wednesday night dropped the Gunners to fifth, and they face Swansea, Burnley and Watford next in an attempt to infiltrate the top four once more.
This weekend, though, is reserved for the FA Cup, and Arsenal face a trip to Lancashire and Preston North End in the third round.
Speaking ahead of the game on Thursday, manager Arsene Wenger revealed that striker Danny Welbeck could make a much-anticipated return to action.
'I haven't decided yet, but he could be [in line to play at Preston],' he told reporters. It depends on Lucas a little bit, it also depends on how he feels.
'Physically his fitness is at quite a good level, but of course the ideal way is to give him two or three games with the Under 23s. But the situation is not always ideal, sometimes you have to hurry up.'
There is also a 'shower spa' on the plane, where travellers will be able to freshen up
