It’s fair to say it was a successful and busy summer transfer window for Arsenal. Technical director Edu splashed the cash, spending in excess of £110 million on five first-team players.
In came Gabriel Jesus, Portuguese playmaker Fabio Vieira, goalkeeper Matt Turner, winger Marquinhos and versatile full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko. Many Arsenal fans are now hopeful Mikel Arteta has been handed a squad capable of ending their six-year UEFA Champions League hiatus after falling agonisingly short last season.
However, injury issues threaten to plague what has been an excellent start for the North London side. Martin Odegaard had to come off with an ankle injury during Wednesday night's win over Aston Villa, while Aaron Ramsdale also went down in the game.
