在冬季轉會窗口即將闔上的一月三十一號，兵工廠完成將小槍宮市亮，租借到英超球隊博爾頓﹝Bolton﹞直至本賽季末的租借外，唯一的轉會就是簽下德國小蜜蜂Thomas Eisfeld了。
現年19歲的Eisfeld，來自1011賽季德甲冠軍隊伍─多特蒙德的青訓系統，作為多特蒙德青訓系統的一員，Eisfeld不僅表現亮眼，可以勝任場上多個位子外，更曾代表德國國家隊，領導U15隊伍出賽。不幸的是，在2009年時，Eisfeld遭遇了十字韌帶的傷病困擾，當時，他的教練用〝可能危及職業生涯〞來形容那次的傷病。所幸Eisfeld克服了嚴重的傷病，重新回到綠茵場上，在本賽季為多特蒙德U19出賽12次，貢獻了6個進球與6次的助攻。Eisfeld成為繼羅斯基和萊曼後，最近一位來到北倫敦的蜜蜂球員。
“I feel very proud to have signed for Arsenal. This is a great club, with many great players, and I’m so happy to be joining Arsenal. It’s a real honour to be team mates with the great players at Arsenal, and also training everyday with players like Tomas Rosicky - who I grew up watching play at Dortmund. I will give it everything I have here and do my best to make the manager, players and fans happy.”
“Thomas is a player we have liked for some time. We’ve watched him closely this season, where he has excelled for Dortmund’s youth team. He is young but has proven to us that he can play, that he has the attitude and technical ability to be a valuable addition to our squad. We’re very pleased to welcome him to the Club and look forward to his contribution in the coming seasons.”
繼藥水之後，我們捕獲的第三隻湯馬士。順帶一提，Eisfeld現在﹝2/2 02:29台灣時間﹞正準備代表槍手預備隊先發，打與Swansea預備隊的比賽。
