2 – Super Summer Signings…
We haven’t exactly rocked the transfer window yet but the early suggestions look good in terms of who Wenger wants to bring in to a side that are capable of winning trophies.
Having already dusted off the cheque book to capture Granit Xhaka for £34million, the competition in centre midfield is now fierce with three players battling for the same defensive position.
It’s not often we get a chance to see competitive action from new signings but the Euro’s have been a brilliant way to see how the Switzerland ace might fit in.
Early business from Wenger is unusual and shows he wants the fresh faces to get used to life with the Gunners during a heavy pre-season schedule.
The unsuccessful bid for Jamie Vardy may have been a letdown in our pursuit of a striker, but it shows the intentions are there for Wenger to finally sign a man capable of challenging Giroud.
Arsenal are reportedly in talks with Gonzalo Higuain and Carlos Bacca as they line up a centre forward to lead the line from the opening weekend, with Giroud and Welbeck both missing.
Signings are imminent but as ever with Arsenal it’ll be a waiting game full of twists and turns. The difference this season is Wenger needs additions quickly.
