Mikel Arteta has expressed Arsenal's intention for significant investments this summer in their quest for their first Premier League title since 2004. While they currently trail Liverpool by 12 points, Arteta believes that smart spending could help close that gap by the 2025-26 season. He emphasized the need to enhance both squad depth and quality. The recent appointment of Andrea Berta as sporting director is seen as part of this strategy to rebuild and improve the team.
The way we planned the five first summers [since I took charge], they were going to be very big and they were going to have different objectives because the turnaround of players and the objective of those windows was different.
Now we want to increase the depth of the squad, but as well we want to increase the quality and the skills that we need to go to the next step. It's going to be a big one and we are very excited about it.
