The transformation of Arsenal’s transfer department is still in its early stages, but the summer of 2021 witnessed a serious overhaul in a short space of time. This has raised the expectations from the Gunners supporters for 2022 ahead of what could be a crucial period.
Should Arsenal qualify for the Champions League this would open a significant number of doors for Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu. The club has been able to attract some serious talent, but the allure of the elite European competition would elevate that attraction to another level.
This will be particularly integral to an element of the new recruitment measures that might see more of the likes of Aaron Ramsdale and Ben White arrive. Both share the trait of being marquee signings from other English clubs.
