Arteta Explains Arsenal Transfer Policy

By Daily sports on August 21, 2021

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits they've been buying players this summer with an eye on the future.

Martin Odegaard signed for the Gunners today from Real Madrid, while Sheffield United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has passed a medical.

Arteta said: “We will see where we finish with the money that we have spent and what we have done in the last few years. We’re going to have seven players that have left the club and five that are coming in, so we are not bringing in more players than we already have. It’s already a big turnaround again and we’re going to try and do it in the right way, so this club is stable. It is a clear indicator, the business that we are doing. The ages are between 21 and 23-years-old and it tells you the project that we are building.”

Explaining the addition of Odegaard, Arteta admits they had to move after losing Joe Willock (Newcastle United) and Dani Ceballos (Real Madrid).

He continued: “Well, we’ve seen Joe here for a long time in different stages of his career and Joe is a player that we valued and we liked so much. After that spell, obviously his profile changed, his ambitions personally changed, and the game time that he needed was very different to what we could give him in this moment.

“We made a decision together to decide the best way for his pathway in his career, and after that we lost Dani and we lost Joe and didn’t have Martin, so in terms of creativity in the team and options in that position, we were really short. You’ve seen the numbers and what we did after Christmas when Martin was in the team and we had people like Emile, the team performed at a completely different level. He’s someone that we admire and he's still at the age in his career when the potential he has is still immense.” (Tribal Football)
