Farewell King Arthur

So Arthur Masuaku has gone on a season's loan, with an option to buy, to Besiktas. He couldn't defend very well in a back four but was a different proposition as a wing-back. Arthur was with us for all six seasons at the London Stadium and had enough moments to make himself a bit of a cult figure. 

No-one will ever forget his Messi-like lob over Chelsea's Mendy last season. Arthur modestly claimed it was a cross but he protested too much, as actually it was a moment of genius. He seemed to like playing against Chelsea, as another of is best performances was a mesmerising game at wing-back in the 1-0 victory during Moyes' first spell at the London Stadium, when Chelsea just couldn't get the ball off him. Then there was some memorable ball-juggling against Spurs which features on most his YouTube highlights. As my WHU colleague Matt tweeted, "world-beating at times, infuriating at others". Though on last season's form he really was better than Lukaku. Here's a picture of Matt's prized Masuaku mug. Good luck in Turkey, Arthur.
