Arteta Aims For Arsenal Squad Upgrades In Premier League Title Pursuit
Mikel Arteta has provided insights into Arsenal's transfer strategy as he looks to strengthen the squad for the upcoming Premier League season. The Gunners narrowly missed out on the title last year, finishing just two points behind Manchester City. Despite matching City's number of wins and goal difference, Arteta believes new signings are essential to challenge for the title again.
We have to [improve], said Arteta. When you are so close you want to grab it. Perfection in this league requires different standards when you relate that word to winning the Premier League and that is what we have to do. We need to upgrade in everything we are doing. We have to improve in every area and that is what we are trying to do.
Arteta emphasised the need for overall improvement within the team. He stated, "We need to upgrade in everything we are doing." This indicates a comprehensive approach towards enhancing various aspects of their game.Riccardo Calafiori is anticipated to join Arsenal from Bologna, where he played a key role in securing Champions League qualification for his current club. Although Arteta did not provide a specific timeline for Calafiori's arrival, he highlighted the club's active efforts in the transfer market.I don't know if anyone will join us [for the pre-season tour], Arteta added. There is still a lot of time left in the window and, while that is more a question for the board, obviously, we know there are certain positions that we want to improve and give the squad better resources in terms of numbers, but the main thing is to focus on falling in love with the players we have.
