Arsenal are moving differently in the market to previous years. The club are targeting players of a higher calibre and, in the cases of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, players at the elite clubs too who are getting regular game time.
Mikel Arteta has led a strategy alongside technical director Edu to level up the recruitment model of the team. Ensuring that Arsenal looks toward Premier League quality that can have an immediate impact.
Arsenal might have signed players from fellow EPL sides in the past, however, these tended to be players surplus to requirement, cheap and facing the latter stages of their careers where a move presented no sell-on value. Petr Cech, Willian, Cedric Soares and David Luiz were certainly key examples.
