Arsenal star Takehiro Tomiyasu has revealed that new signings are just one of a number of things at the club which have helped the Gunners climb to the top of the Premier League table. Ahead of what could be a season-defining week where Mikel Arteta's men face Brentford and title rivals Manchester City, Arsenal sit five points clear at the summit with 16 wins from 20 games.
The Gunners were prevented from notching 17 wins last weekend by Everton at Goodison Park with James Tarkowski scoring early in the second half to hand the league leaders just their fifth defeat of the season in all competitions. However, Man City were guilty of not capitalising on that slip-up just over a day later as they also suffered a 1-0 defeat away from home to Tottenham.
After missing out on Champions League qualification on the final day of last season, Arsenal already have an 11-point advantage on the team in fifth which happens to be their north London rivals Spurs who pipped them to that final European place in the last campaign.
