Arsenal can finally complete 3-year transfer mission and prove Unai Emery right over £72m deal

Whisper it quietly but Unai Emery was right all along. At least when it came to one Arsenal transfer move. He may have been wrong about a number of other things and the Gunners are certainly reaping the rewards of his full-time replacement Mikel Arteta being in charge now.

Arsenal are the only team in the Premier League with a 100% record after three games and sit top of the pile. They have spent big to get there, splashing out in excess of £150million last summer and then paying out more than £110million this time around, with more to potentially spend on incomings before the transfer window shuts next week.

The Gunners have brought in five new players in Oleksandr Zinchenko, Gabriel Jesus, Marquinhos, Matt Turner and Fabio Vieira, while the likes of Pedro Neto and Youri Tielemans have been tipped to make the move to the Emirates Stadium as well. But there is another name being linked with a move to north London and it's a name that was previously linked with Arsenal.
