Jamie Carragher has praised Arsenal technical director Edu for the club's 'brave' transition in transfer strategy over the last two years. In the previous pair of summer windows, the Gunners have spent in the region of £270million on refined and meticulously profiled targets.
The north Londoners have specifically identified players under the age of 24 years old who fit the mould of Mikel Arteta's philosophy. Last year, the north London side welcomed six new faces to London Colney, spending in the region of £150million; Martin Odegaard, Ben White, Aaron Ramsdale, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Nuno Tavares and Aaron Trusty.
This year, Arsenal doubled down and spent around the same, signing Gabriel Jesus, Fabio Vieira, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Matt Turner and Marquinhos. The Gunners were one of the Premier League's biggest spending sides - even if they did miss out on a few deadline day deals.
