Premier League preview! Arsenal is waiting for the new No. 9, and the midfield is renewed, leaving Arteta with little time left

Arsenal has invested heavily in the summer window of the past few seasons almost every year, and this year's summer window is still the case. Every time, it is one step away from the championship, but the distance of "this step" has been spanning several seasons and has not been crossed yet. Arsenal was once close to the Premier League championship last season and also performed very well on the Champions League stage, but in the end it still achieved nothing. Head coach Arteta's coaching ability has been questioned again. This summer window, Arsenal made a major reinforcement on the front line. If the team still cannot win the championship, Arteta will not even rule out the possibility of being dismissed in the future.

Arsenal's signings this summer window are still very targeted. Kepa's joining gives the team a substitute goalkeeper, while Maduaike strengthens the team's breakthrough ability on the left. Zubimendi spends the club's transfer fee of 60 million euros to make up for Thomas' departure, and enhances the team's ability to wash balls and control balls in the midfield. In addition, Yorke's arrival allows Arsenal to truly have players working in the small penalty area. The team's reinforcement strategy and reinforcement direction are very in line with expectations. Coupled with the stability of the main lineup and the advantage of age, Arsenal's lineup does not have much shortcomings and is still one of the most competitive teams in the Premier League.

With the existing lineup configuration, Arsenal's biggest advantage is that there are top players in every position, including the forward position that was criticized last season and was plagued by injuries. With Yorke in the frontcourt, he has not yet experienced the test of strong dialogue, but at least when facing mid- and lower-level teams, or teams that focus on defensive counterattacks, Arsenal will have more room for tactical choices. Whether it is crossing from the wing or penetration from the middle, Yorke can still ensure the goal efficiency when he has enough shooting opportunities. Moreover, with Havertz and Jesus' comeback and Merino as a versatile player, Arsenal does not need to worry about the goal.

In the midfield position, the midfield combination with Rice and Zubimendi is enough to bring a barrier to the defense line on the defensive end. In addition, the defense line composed mainly of Gabriel and Saliba, Arsenal's defense will not be tested too much. Moreover, Arsenal's advantages on the back line are obvious compared to other championship teams. Ben White, Calafiori, Timber and others have the ability to start, and Arsenal will still be one of the best teams in the Premier League and even Europe. However, in the midfield position, it is still worth paying attention to whether Odegao can get rid of the downturn when playing against the strong team. Fortunately, the team introduced Zubi Mendy this summer window. His long pass and his all-around attribute in the midfield may be able to further liberate Odegao, which will become the key to whether Arsenal can make a breakthrough in the new season.

Of course, even after introducing Yorkres, Arsenal still needs to make a breakthrough to see the team's running-in effect, especially whether the team's left side can share part of Saka's offensive pressure and who will become a substitute after Saka is injured is still a test for Arteta. As the most threatening player in the offense, Saka's role is undoubtedly crucial. He also performed very well last season. After being injured, the team's offensive quality declined to a certain extent. How to solve this problem will also determine whether Arsenal can go further in the new season. These are issues that Arteta needs to consider before the start of the new season.

Arteta has coached Arsenal for more than 5 years. The team has given him enough support every season, but failing to make a breakthrough in the championship will become pressure on him to coach, and it was even considered to be the biggest shortcoming of Arsenal's championship, which also requires him to prove his ability in the new season. Arteta's coaching style and shortcomings have been shown very clearly in the past few seasons. Inadequate tactical flexibility and the use of personnel will become the key to whether Arsenal can make a breakthrough. Arteta is now on the verge of becoming a famous coach. He urgently needs to use a heavy champion to prove his ability. If he still cannot succeed, Arsenal will not rule out the possibility of giving up on him in the future.
