Arsenal's recent transfer dealings have shown that owners Stan and Josh Kroenke trust Mikel Arteta to lead the club back to the very top table of English and European football.
The 2-0 win over Tottenham on Sunday afternoon marked Arsenal's best ever start to a Premier League season, with 16 wins from 19 games and only one defeat. Fans are growing excited week by week at the prospect of the Premier League title returning to the red half of north London for the first time in 19 years, and Arteta can take a serious chunk of the plaudits.
The Spaniard has taken Arsenal from a mismanaged side with a number of ageing players on the decline to a hungry young team that boast an intelligence, athleticism and desire to win trophies. As a result of 'trusting the process', as the saying goes - the Kroenkes have full confidence in the transfer decisions made by Arteta and sporting director Edu.
