The 2021/22 season was one of progress for Arsenal, following a summer of mass changes in a bid to be competitive once again. While that was largely achieved, Mikel Arteta ’s men missed out on Champions League football at the last hurdle, resulting in a return to Europa League football next campaign.
European football next season will only add more fixture congestion to an already thin squad, outlining the need for reinforcements in the upcoming transfer window. Discussing plans for the market, the Spaniard said: “We are going to have certain resources, not unlimited resources, some resources. And with our resources we have to play and do what we have to do in the best possible way.
“We don't know what the rest are going to have in terms of resources, which I'm assuming is going to be challenging because now it's not a top three or top four league. Now it is a top eight or 10 teams that are involved. That's why we have to find a way to do again what we did last summer.”
