Arsenal have become renowned for their success in the transfer market in recent years. Following years of failed moves, sporting director Edu Gaspar has carefully hand-picked a number of exquisite deals as of late.
That's why it's hardly surprising that the Gunners find themselves at the pinnacle of English football in Mikel Arteta's third full season in charge. The north Londoners are, understandably, ahead of schedule but the spine of Arteta’s squad is of the highest quality.
