Arsenal have made only two signings this season to improve their team, and they are very close to signing another player before the transfer market ends.
Currently the best signing they have done is they have signed a new defender, Riccardo Calafiori. The Gunners always needed a new defender as their defense looked week sometimes in the last season.
Last year in the transfer window they did major signings and spent a lot of money; they signed a defensive midfielder Declan Rice, an attacking midfielder Kai Havertz, and defender Jurrien Timber. They also signed a goalkeeper on loan and made him permanent in this transfer window.
Arsenal have played the best football in the last two seasons, finishing second in the Premier League after Manchester City. In both seasons they have lost the league to Manchester City, and with a margin of a gap, the Gunners being unable to beat the City can be because of several reasons. On the other side, the Manchester City team only knows winning; they have won the league four times in a row, which is mind-blowing. For Gunners, beating Manchester City to win the league is the only challenge they are focusing on, and to that end, they are improving those places that were weak, like the left back position and midfield position.
Gunners will sign only those players that they need.
In the 2022–23 season, Arsenal lost the league to City by just five points, losing in one, and it cost them the league title. After that season, they strengthened their team in every area they thought it needed; they signed David Raya for the goalkeeper position from Brentford on loan; they also signed defender Jurrien Timber from Ajax to improve the defense; they also signed two midfielders, Declan Rice as a defensive midfielder from West Ham and Kai Havertz as an attacking midfielder from Chelsea.
The reports have confirmed that Arsenal are getting very close to signing their third player of this summer transfer window and are getting close to making a team that will be hard to beat.
Arsenal have finished their preseason tour of the United States, and now they are going back to London and will be there very soon. The preseason was a great success for the team as they tested some new players, some of those players who were injured last year for the whole season, and they also tested some new formations, and according to the manager, all went well, and now they are prepared to play in this season with very high hopes to win the league.
They have already done two signings in this summer transfer window. First, it was the goalkeeping position. David Raya’s loan move has now turned into a permanent signing.
Arsenal fans are excited about this season.
The second signing was Riccardo Calafiori, an Italian defender. Arsenal always needs a new backup defender, a defender who can replace William Saliba or Gabriel Mesut if any of them gets injured. Until last year, they did not have a defender who could take over, and their best defenders are unable to play or are not playing well.
The next player on the Gunners list is the Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino. The midfielder recently won the Euros 2024; he showed his real talent in the Euros, where he played like a world-class midfielder, and it showed why Arteta wants the player at the club.
Mikel Merino was the man who was on the Gunners rader for a long time, and they were impress with his performances that he has given in the last few years. He is a player who has given top-notch performances, but still his performances have stayed under the radar, but his performance in the Euro 2024 has been great, and the whole world saw his performance and what he can do; this pushed Arsenal to sign the player.
