Super 6: How Arsenal’s six recent transfers might finally take them to the promised land
“I always want to score,” might sound like a relatively run of the mill quote from new Arsenal signing Viktor Gyokeres but it might be a warning shot by the Gunners to the Premier League as they get set for another crack at winning the elusive league title as well as Champions League silverware. At long last, they have a No.9, the first out and out striker since 2022 when they brought in Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City. After that signing underwhelmed, Arsenal had to do with playing Kai Havertz and Mikel Merino up front, which severely limited their goal scoring chances.
The Gunners are currently on a warpath in the transfer market, already signing 6 players before July has even ended. The closest they got to this transfer spree was back in the 2022/23 season when they snapped up Fabio Viera, Marquinhos, Matt Turner, Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko. That year was supposed to be their season but they finished second in the league.

MUN vs ARS Live Score: Team news
Andre Onana has been kept out of the playing XI. he is not injured either, as confirmed by Amorim. Meanwhile, Sesko will start on the bench tonight so we have to wait for Gyokeres vs Sesko duel. Meanwhile, Riccardo Calafiori and Ben White have been preferred over Timber and Lewis Skelley for Arsenal. That's a bit curious.
