Since the rise of Manchester City, Arsenal have been unable to compete with their financial might and eventual hyper-club status with a team of superstars. The Gunners have been trying to fight their way back of late but it will take an enormous effort to close the gap.
However, Man City have an advantage that Arsenal cannot match to allow command of the transfer market from a youth standpoint. Due to the impacts of Brexit, it has become harder for English clubs to acquire young talent from abroad.
However, City have an edge on this over clubs due to the City Football Group’s collection of teams from around the world. The CFG is made up of Manchester City, New York City FC, Melbourne City, Yokohama F. Marinos, Montevideo City Torque, Girona FC, Sichuan Jiuniu, Mumbai City FC, Lommel SK and Troyes.
