On the one hand. it’s job done for Arsenal: they needed a new left-sided centre back, a new central midfielder and a new winger. Mikel Arteta has secured all three.
On the other hand: what could have been? And what might this mean? No one will dispute that Arsenal’s squad is stronger than this time last month. Leandro Trossard, who cost £21million from Brighton, offers versatility and depth.
Jakub Kiwior, signed for an initial £17.5m, provides competition and cover for Gabriel Magalhaes.
Jorginho could prove an inspired signing for Arsenal after arriving for a bargain price of £10m
