Arsenal’s Transfer Strategy Has Been Calculated – Arteta

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reacted to suggestions that the club has left itself short in attack following a high-profile summer exodus at the Emirates Stadium. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Stressing that Arsenal’s recruitment strategy has been ambitious and calculated, Arteta emphasised that he doesn’t not regret the thin nature of his squad.

The Spaniard added that it was a pleasure to work with Martinelli and be a part of his footballing journey.

His words, “No. The selling of players can come from different aspects as well. It’s not always the same one.

That’s part of the responsibility we have at the football club.

I understand the point of view, but we have to understand the amount of minutes those players played and the ones that were injured, especially in the first six months.

Then the data shows something completely different, but it is what it is. This is what we have and we already have some very good players.”

On Martinelli, “With Gabi, I have gratitude. It’s been a pleasure to work with him and be part of his journey.

The Gabi I met and the one that just left had a huge transformation both personally and professionally.

The impact he had for the club, his ambition, his love for the game and the way he has helped us to grow and achieve our goals, he has been a critical player.

The story ends, and we wish him all the best in a different one.”
