After just under three months the madness of the transfer window has come to an end. Having finished just two points outside the Champions League places last season, it's no secret that this summer was going to be a particularly crucial one for Arsenal if they were going to continue the positive mood that was so abundant around the Emirates Stadium on the final day of the campaign.
From the outset Mikel Arteta was clear that he and Edu had been working for months on deals they wanted to get done. "We want to take the club to the next level," the Spaniard said at the end of last season. "That's the ambition. In order to do that we have a very clear plan again, how we want to do it and execute it, and there are no secrets."
Here football.london takes a look back on the summer transfer window, what happened, what didn't and how well it went for Arsenal.
