Arsenal's transfer business over the past year has been pretty successful up until this point. Edu Gaspar and Mikel Arteta have worked in tandem to create a squad that is capable of playing how the manager wants his side to, whilst also having plenty of promise and character.
The process hasn't been quick, with a ruthless approach to both signings and exits at the club to get to a stage where they can just compete again. Another thing they've had to be ruthless on is who to avoid when it comes to additions too, such as pulling out of the race to sign Lisandro Martinez from Ajax when Manchester United were prepared to put more money on the table.
That's where it makes the latest transfer link for Arsenal to Chelsea star Callum Hudson-Odoi slightly baffling. The Gunners have previously been linked with the attacker, and are again being touted as one of a few teams (including Newcastle) to hold an interest.
