300 million dollars was what Mikel Arteta spent on the last transfer window and he failed to get good replacement for the important positions. Or do you think the money was not enough for him? Well compared to the amount giving to Chelsea coach and Pep Guardiola at that time it was small. Still, it can afford to get a good replacement for Odegard and Saka most importantly. If you notice most of the players now in their team that are performing very well is Lewis Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri. The two players are not above 19 years of age. Coming from the Academy and doing wonders in the big team. I dont think Mikel Arteta should focus on getting a midfielder or defender again. He did that last season. This time if he really wants to win the league then he should prioritize getting a striker, and two wingers (left and right).
If I'm not mistaken, indeed in the last summer window, Arsenal had a budget of €300m, but specifically in the last summer transfer window 2024, Aretta only spent €108.90m. and he only got:If I'm not mistaken, indeed in the last summer window, Arsenal had a budget of €300m, but specifically in the last summer transfer window 2024, Aretta only spent €108.90m.

and he only got:
- David Raya - Goalkeeper (permanent)
- Riccardo Calafiori - Left-Back (permanent)
- Mikel Merino - Central Midfield (permanent)
- - Goalkeeper (loan)
- Raheem Sterling - Right Winger (loan)
However, I agree with you that Arsenal really needs a striker and winger. For the striker, currently, Arsenal wants to sign Sporting striker, Viktor Gyokeres. but indeed, the challenge is they have to compete with Man United, where Amorim is.
