Arsenal have become an efficient force in the transfer market. They have become a team full of well-resourced players, recruited by influential director Edu and used to near perfection by Mikel Arteta at matches.
It is a farcry from the model that had been used which attracted criticism from fans and pundits alike. Players such as Lucas Perez, Shkodran Mustafi or Nicolas Pepe that never truly got going at the Emirates. Now the squad is piled high with ambitious, young and talented players ready to impact the team straightaway.
Ben White and Aaron Ramsdale were added in 2021 with some scepticism but the plan has paid off. Even in January they refused to overpay for the likes of Mykhailo Mudryk or Moises Caicedo in the face of competition from elsewhere.
