Arsene Wenger took his place in the front row, centre, while the mascot, with a specially-designed jumper sized for dinosaurs, assumed a position on the far left.

In front of the squad were the silverware the Gunners currently hold - the FA Cup and the Community Shield.

And even wantaway striker Alexis Sanchez was happy to receive his festive gear - but will it turn out to be a leaving present?

The Chilean is set once again to be the subject of intense transfer speculation once the window re-opens in January, with his contract up in the summer.

The jumpers donned by the Gunners players are available for fans to buy, as well as dogs, with all monies received going to Save The Children.

If Arsenal lose Sanchez in January, SunSport reported the club could make a £30million swoop for Hirving Lozano to replace wantaway him.

Manchester United have also previously indicated their interest in PSV Eindhoven's talisman.

The Dutch giants are not willing to sell the in-demand 22-year-old for less than his £30m release clause, according to Football.London.

He has attracted interest from a host of clubs after becoming the first player to score seven goals in his first eight games in the Eredivisie.

After bagging a brace against Vitesse on Sunday, he now has nine league goals to his name.

Lozano left Pachuca in June 2017 to sign a six-year deal with Phillip Cocu's side for a fee of £7.04m.

The Mexican already has more than 20 caps for his country and he is expected to be a key figure during next year's World Cup contest.

Arsenal have previously sent chief scout Steve Rowley to monitor the 22-year-old.
