With the incoming transfer window now closed in England, let’s look at what Arsenal have done.

I think it’s safe to say that the entire summer transfer window was ‘unexpected’.
When Josh Kroenke said we should ‘be excited’ we declined and carried on moaning only for the club to deliver Nicolas Pepe for £72m.
The maths involved to spread £40m around and come back with six top players is quite impressive and it hits home once again how the only decent thing Ivan Gazidis did was to hire Raul Sanllehi and then sod off.
So, having said all that, let’s look in our goodie bag…
It should be noted that, in terms of sales, the transfer window in Germany, France and Spain don’t close until 2 September. It closes in Italy on 23 August.

It is likely we will see some others leave on loan as well before the window closes around Europe.
