In three of the four summer transfer windows since Mikel Arteta was appointed as Arsenal manager, more than £100million has been spent. In the other, Arsenal splashed out with £50million on Thomas Partey and £25million to buy Gabriel Magalhaes, two statement deals.

Last summer it shifted again to filling gaps with Mikel Merino arriving and David Raya’s loan made permanent. The spending has been justified. Arsenal are set for a third consecutive second-place finish in the Premier League and will almost certainly be playing in the…
