Arsenal has been active in the transfer market, bringing in new talent to enhance their squad after finishing as runners-up for three consecutive seasons. Key signings include Martin Zubimendi, Christian Nrgaard, Noni Madueke, Viktor Gyokeres, Cristhian Mosquera, and Kepa Arrizabalaga. While these additions aim to address previous concerns, particularly in attack and creativity, the squad faces challenges from other clubs, especially Liverpool, which have outspent Arsenal. The club's aim remains clear: to secure their first championship since the Invincibles in 2004, despite ongoing worries about their creativity in midfield and attack.
The arrival of Gyokeres will certainly quieten the clamour for a new No 9 that has rumbled on for several years, although the pressure will immediately be on the Sweden striker to hit the ground running.
Longstanding target Zubimendi should provide metronomic accuracy at the base of a new-look midfield that Arteta will hope can continue to get the best out of Declan Rice.
Even with the teenage sensations Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri having committed their futures to the club after enjoying outstanding breakthrough seasons, there remain concerns about a lack of creativity in the squad.
Yet while Arsenal may end up paying more than 200m for the additions to their squad so far, seeing champions Liverpool comfortably outspend them after finishing 10 points ahead last season has left many fans wondering if they have gone far enough.
