Mikel Arteta was quite brutally slammed for spending £74million on the signings of Aaron Ramsdale and Ben White in the 2021 summer transfer window. Ramsdale arrived off the back of two Premier League relegations, while the £50million fee spent on White was questioned after the former Brighton man had only played one season in England's top flight.
However, both have become a crucial part of the Arsenal team, with Arteta then building on those signings by bringing Martin Odegaard to the club on a permanent deal and acquiring the services of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City.
£107million was spent on the trio who have played a crucial role in the Gunners' rapid rise to the top of the Premier League. Accompanying those established names are Arsenal's young guns in William Saliba, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, who have also been just as, if not, more important.
