Arsenal's summer transfer window concluded with significant squad changes, including the signing of five first-team players such as Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino. High-profile sales, including Aaron Ramsdale, Eddie Nketiah, and Emile Smith Rowe, generated nearly £90m in transfer income. Despite mixed feelings among fans about the effectiveness of the transfer window, Paul Merson highlighted Raheem Sterling's signing as potentially pivotal in the Premier League title race due to his experience and goal-scoring ability. Kieran Tierney and Jakub Kiwior remain at the club despite expectations of their departures, raising questions about squad depth. Overall, Arsenal's strategy appears geared towards long-term success but has prompted debate on immediate competitiveness.
