Arsenal have enjoyed plenty of progression as a team under Mikel Arteta's management - helped by some brilliant business in the transfer market from sporting director Edu Gaspar. The Gunners came close to ending their wait for a first Premier League title since 2004 last season as they finished second - behind Manchester City.
It's been quite the turnaround at Arsenal since Arteta returned to the Emirates Stadium in a managerial role with Champions League football set to return next season. Bukayo Saka has become one of the Gunners' star players and recently signed a new long-term contract with his boyhood club.
The signings of Aaron Ramsdale, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko have all helped propel Arsenal back towards the top of the Premier League and emerge as one of City's main competitors for the title. Kai Havertz has become the first addition to Arteta's squad this summer with Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber expected to complete their moves to Arsenal in the coming days.
