For the second successive year, Arsenal are proving to be the big Premier League movers during the summer transfer window.
After being backed to the tune of more than £150million in 2021, Gunners bosses are putting their faith in Mikel Arteta again as he looks to finally end their Champions League hiatus. For much of the last campaign, a top-four finish looked nailed on, only for a late collapse to open the door for their rivals Tottenham.
But rather than wallow in their late-season woes, Arsenal have acted quickly to continue a ruthless overhaul which began with the Spaniard’s appointment in late 2019. So far Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner, Gabriel Jesus and most recently, Oleksandr Zinchenko have been brought in, at a cost of more than £100m.
