Arsenal have risen to become a side challenging this startling Manchester City monster of a club whilst their West London rivals continue to plummet further and further down the Premier League table. After the purchase of the Blues by Todd Boehly and the ludicrous levels of investment, it has been proven that money alone is not the key to success.
Now, it should be said that Arsenal themselves have made significant investments in their squad however the level of financial injection by Boehly has been comparatively far bigger than the Gunners’ spending. Stan Kroenke, the Gunners owner, was known previously for not being too keen to release the purse-strings
However, the executive shake-up at Arsenal since the 2018 takeover has been significant. Manager Mikel Arteta has come in, Edu Gaspar became technical director before his promotion to sporting director, several scouting changes were made and recently the Brazilian has promoted a number of staff to support him ahead of the summer transfer window.
