Mikel Arteta's midfield at the Emirates Stadium could look completely different when Arsenal begin their 2023/24 season. The position has been recognised as the key area of improvement in the summer to ensure this season's momentum follows through after a successful current campaign.
Right now, the Gunners have a number of high-quality midfielders in Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka and Martin Odegaard. Mohamed Elneny has suffered an injury hit season and summer signing Fabio Vieira is far from the finished product, but there’s still the need for me.
Yet, as has been well-documented in recent days, the variety in choice compared to their Premier League title rivals Manchester City off the bench has been nucleus to their recent downfall, seeing Pep Guardiola's men become 92.7% favourites to win their fifth league title in six years.
