The reality of Arsenal’s situation is sometimes difficult to come to terms with when the past of this prestigious footballing institution is levels from where it has since fallen. The idea that Arsenal could sign ‘world-class’ talent this summer is unlikely.
Arsenal have had their fair share of world-class players in the past, sometimes where the majority of the team was made up of them. However, since the move to the Emirates and the regression, they have dwindled until realistically only one remains in Thomas Partey.
Players such as Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Magalhaes to name a few certainly have the potential to be world-class players one day but they are still seasons of development away from this. The term ‘world class’ in itself will always be subjective to the person using it.
