Watch Arsenal fan thank ‘Don’ Raul Sanllehi in his car for ‘saving us’ after transfer guru spends £141m on £45m budget this summer

ARSENAL transfer guru Raul Sanllehi has pulled a rabbit out of the hat this window - and fans have made sure to thank him.

The Gunners' head of football was stopped by a jubilant Gooner who hailed the "don" for saving the club.

Former Barcelona supremo Sanllehi, 50, shared a laugh with the supporter after the touching exchange and went home knowing he is the toast of North London.

A cheeky fan edited his Wikipedia page to celebrate his achievements.

It currently reads: "King Raúl I of Arsenal (born September 18, 1966 in Barcelona), also known as 'Don Raúl', is a Spanish football administrator and who is currently the Head of Football at Arsenal.

"Sanllehi initially joined Arsenal in February 2018 as Head of Football Relations as well as having baddest latina in the planet and was promoted to his current role following the departure of CEO Ivan Gazidis.

"He was previously the Director of Football at Barcelona."

While a fellow Gooner responded to the video by tweeting: "I'm sure this fan made Raul feel special, respected, loved by fans and worthy of all the hard work to pull off those incredible deals this window.

"Great job in the transfer window."

Another poked fun at Manchester United, adding: "Are you watching Man Utd lol lol lol".

Arsenal's summer spending spree saw them land £141million of talent on a £45m budget.

The effective business came thanks to carefully structured repayment arrangements and player sales.

And they haven’t even increased their annual wage bill after fretting all summer about breaking financial fair play rules.

David Luiz, 32, completed a stunning £8million move from Chelsea after agreeing a two-year contract worth around £120,000-a-week.

And Scottish international Kieran Tierney has also joined after a £25m deal was struck with Celtic.

The Gunners have already smashed their club record transfer fee to sign £72m Nicolas Pepe from Lille and have also paid £27m for William Saliba, £6m for Gabriel Martinelli and a £3m loan fee for Dani Ceballos.
