Arsenal won titles and broke records by making some of the best transfer decisions in footballing history. Not only taking underperforming future stars like Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp and fulfilling their potential but signing players like Sol Campbell from their fierce rivals.

Arsenal have lacked this ruthless edge in their recruitment in recent times. In fact, the players signed from fellow Premier League clubs have been underwhelming and sometimes regressive for the squad. Mikaël Silvestre anyone?

However, things have started to change of late. In 2021, Mikel Arteta and Edu collaborated to rebalance the squad and in doing so reassessed the targeting of possible singings.

Ben White and Aaron Ramsdale, who were key components of their respective Premier League sides Brighton and Sheffield United in the 2020/21 season were brought in. These were the first signings made from an EPL rival that were not deemed surplus to requirements when they joined.

Cedric Soares, Willian, Petr Cech, Danny Welbeck and David Luiz were all considered expendable to Southampton, Chelsea and Manchester United.
