Mikel Arteta is now going into his third summer transfer window at the club having been appointed way back in December of 2019. The club sliding down the Premier League in terms of quality, competitiveness and certainly their activity in the market.
It has been a monumental task to turn things around for Arsenal but from 11th where Arteta took the reins, the Gunners were agonisingly close to a first top four finish since 2016. With the business this summer, it is a very real possibility that the majority of the squad will be, either, signings made under Arteta or players developed from the academy and refined under the Spaniard’s coaching.
In fact, with the likes of Nicolas Pepe, Hector Bellerin, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Lucas Torreira and Bernd Leno expected to leave this summer, only six players will remain signed under either Arsene Wenger or Unai Emery.
