Mikel Arteta's £56m Arsenal transfer decision justified after Man United's Brentford thrashing

Arsenal's transfer business and decisions so far this summer appear to have been spot on. Mikel Arteta and Edu were tasked with reinforcing the squad after a long and tough campaign last time out.

The Gunners managed to finish fifth, just missing out on the Champions League places, but there was little time to reflect on their narrow loss. Signings have been made quickly, with five additions so far and over £100million spent on increasing quality and depth to the side for the upcoming season.

The likes of Gabriel Jesus, Fabio Vieira and Oleksandr Zinchenko have all made the switch, able to play in several positions with some ability in all of those roles. Arteta's men currently have two wins from their opening two games, making a far better start than last year where they lost all of their opening three matches.
