The last week of Arsenal's transfers has been filled with the competition that has run rife in the Gunners' new-look recruitment plan. Chelsea, Barcelona, Tottenham, Barcelona and Juventus have become regular battlers for targets.
Although frustrating, this is a good sign for Arsenal as previous players had criticised the club's targeted opportunities instead of those in high demand for their quality. The problem with quality is the competition to get hold of it.
Strangely, however, Arsenal cooled their interest early on in the one summer priority of which there was a lack of competition for the player. Youri Tielemans was a well-documented priority transfer target for the Arsenal central midfield.
