It was a hugely busy summer for the club in the transfer market, and Mikel Arteta is confident that he now has the tools needed to compete.
We made six first-team signings, bringing in the likes of Ben White, Martin Odegaard and Aaron Ramsdale to boost our squad and our manager is delighted with the work that has been done.
"We have a completely different squad with the number of changes that you just mentioned," Arteta said. "You can tell that is unheard of.
"Now we have the tools that we believe are going to give us the best opportunity to compete in the way we want to compete and build what we want to build in this project and now we have to make it work.
