Looking for a bargain in the transfer market is something that is rarely associated with Arsenal who have overpaid significantly for players who have taken them only backwards since their arrival.
However, things have changed in recent years with Mikel Arteta and Edu identifying several players who have signed and, so far, outstripped their transfer fees considerably for Arsenal.
The summer saw players such as Takehiro Tomiyasu, Aaron Ramsdale, Nuno Tavares, Martin Odegaard and Sambi Lokonga all arrive for reasonable figures and their performances this season have justified the investment put into them. This does not mean that they can take their foot off the pedal however and the scrutiny will continue throughout their tenure at the club.
