While Arteta’s transfer strategy may seem like a gamble, it is one rooted in a clear vision for Arsenal’s future. By prioritising quality over quantity, tactical fit over marquee names, and long-term success over short-term gains, Arteta is laying the foundations for a sustainable return to the top of English and European football.

Arsenal and Tottenham are reportedly among the clubs interested in the transfer of Barcelona forward Ferran Torres. The Spain international, formerly of Manchester City, is not currently playing regularly for Barca and it makes sense that his future is in some doubt.

Arteta took over a club that were in 10th position, that had finished 5th, 6th and 5th in the prior 3 seasons. He has spent less than almost all of his direct rivals. And yet people slate him because they are second in the league. Seems a bit harsh to me. Mike, LFC, Dubai
