Arteta Says Arsenal Needs More Transfers This Summer

Mikel Arteta is happy with Arsenal’s new signings but wants more players before the transfer window closes. He praised sporting director Andrea Berta but said the team still needs more depth for the new season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Arteta spoke to reporters after a training session. He said, “We are so happy, Andrea Berta is doing an excellent job… and it’s still early in the window. In terms of numbers, we are still short.”

This means Arsenal is not done with signings even after adding big names like Christian Norgaard, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi, and Noni Madueke. Most are already training with the team.

ARSENAL’S SUMMER SO FAR

Arsenal finished second in the Premier League last season with 70 points, just behind Liverpool. Their goal this summer is to close this gap and get ready for another title push. They have signed players for key positions, but Arteta still worries about team depth.

The team is also in the Champions League, which makes depth even more important. Arsenal will play the group stage and try to improve on last season’s semifinal appearance.

WHAT NEXT FOR ARSENAL?

Arsenal’s next game is a friendly against Inter Milan later this week. Both teams are getting ready for their league seasons. Arsenal wants the Premier League title, and Inter wants to win Serie A again.

Arsenal is also watching rivals like Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United. They are close in the standings. Expect Arsenal to keep working on new signings. Arteta wants a deeper squad before the season starts in August.
