After the disappointment of last season Arteta raises the challenge to City. The club has already spent 250 million and bought the highest paid Englishman in history. And it may not end there
Mikel Arteta has long been clear about where he sees Arsenal in 2023-24. To challenge City again for the title, this time without the slowdown that cost the Premier League at the end of last season. To get noticed in Europe, in the return to the Champions League. And the coach who returned the Gunners to the nobility of football also has clear what is needed: to improve the team, in terms of quality and experience. The 250 million euros already spent (or almost) even before the team gets together to start the new season are precisely for this, with Arsenal adding to a squad still to be extended three players who are needed for the leap in quality : Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber. When the curtain rises on the new Premier League, they might not be the only news at London Conley’s training centre.
