Alvaro Morata, Marko Arnautovic and Man Utd scattergun transfer policy vindicates Arsenal plan

Arsenal got their transfer business done early this summer, although they may not be finished just yet. Technical director Edu and manager Mikel Arteta brought in five new signings before the Premier League season got underway.

Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko all arrived at the club prior to the start of the new campaign on Friday, which opened with a 2-0 victory away at Crystal Palace. More signings may yet follow, with the club interested in Leicester City star Youri Tielemans, but if the incoming business is complete, it will have been a good window.

The Gunners are not the only ones to have got their transfer business done early on in the window. North London rivals Tottenham, notoriously late movers, also made big strides this summer, bringing in six new players before the new campaign kicked off.
