Arsenal's 2022/23 Premier League campaign showed signs that the club are moving in the right direction once again, following seasons of disappointment and questions over how they can return to their competitive best. An unexpected title push saw them mount a challenge for the league, but in the end Manchester City had too much for them.
The hard work in previous transfer windows paved the way for Mikel Arteta to find the relative success that he had over the past year, but there's still plenty more to come to reach the next level. For the Spaniard, second is a step forward but nothing to celebrate and the next window is an opportunity to strengthen further.
"I am really interested in understanding, reflecting and analysing what we have in the house and what resources we have already," Arteta said on the summer business ahead. "How we can improve and how we can maximise and take players to a different level, the ones we haven't got everything from. Then the bonus will be to make those decisions and improve the team, but as well we don't want to lose that cohesion that exists around the team and that understanding. Hopefully we make the right decisions."
