As Arsenal were not able to perform very well last season. So the team will want to repeat their traditional performances this season. The team management will surely want to start the season with the players of the team.
Last season Arsenal didn't play in the Champions League, they only played in the European League if I'm not mistaken the last time they competed in this tournament was the 2015-2016 season because in that season they managed to finish in second place in the English premier league, they were able to qualify for the group phase but in the knockout round they met Barcelona immediately and lost with a sizable goal aggregate 5-1, after that Arsenal have not managed to play in the champions league again then in the new season they will be competing here again.
I don't know what their best achievements are in the champions league but they are not a club that considers so much in this tournament, and this year when they will compete doubts remain because most of their players have no experience in the champions league, even in the European league they have not achieved good results, so Arsenal will have difficulty here, competing with other big clubs, the players they buy to strengthen their game will probably need time to be able to bring Arsenal into a strong team in the champions league.
