Arsenal's summer 2021 transfer window was undoubtedly a successful one. The club splashed in excess of £140million on six players - all of whom were 23-years-old or under at the time of signing.
The Gunners have since gone on an impressive run that sees them currently sit fourth in the Premier League table, three points above fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who have played a game more than their local rivals. Despite the productivity in terms of incoming, it was another window where the club struggled to fetch considerable fees for outgoing players, with the £25million received for Joe Willock the only significant departure fee.
It has become a recurring theme during technical director Edu's tenure with the club to cancel the contracts of fringe players instead of selling them, a costly theme at that. The Brazilian is also guilty for allowing squad players to leave on loan, inserting a low buy option clause that undervalues the club's asset.
