Previously, Arsenal also had some good recruits, but still, they still couldn't do and get the best results. It's not easy to compete in the Premier League, but Arsenal has the same pattern, their achievement is "close to win the EPL, but again failed." and this has happened for years.
In this transfer market, Arsenal actually only needs to get something much better, not more. And now, Arsenal have met with Martin Zubimendi in London, to do a done deal. Real Sociedad's release clause is €60m.

Compared to other transfers, this looks cheap.
As for Arsenal's goals, for many years they were happy with Dortmund's model of "buy a rising star and sell him for twice as much in a year or two", but now their management is seriously aiming to achieve at least some kind of title. I wonder if Arsenal don't win anything again next season, will Arteta be under threat? But against the backdrop of many other young coaches who have come in and produced results in their first season, his achievements already look questionable. If you were the club's management, it would be logical to assume that the obstacle could be not only in the players but also in the coach.
