Arsenal’s head coach, Mikel Arteta, has conveyed that the increased squad size this season necessitates higher performance levels among certain players.
In a press conference ahead of the upcoming clash with Manchester United, Arteta highlighted the advantage of having a broader selection of players compared to previous seasons.
This summer, Arsenal made significant signings, bringing in Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Eberechi Eze, Cristhian Mosquera, Noni Madueke, Piero Hincapie, Christian Norgaard, and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
As a result, Arsenal has managed to handle numerous injuries more effectively this season, and Arteta believes the situation encourages all players to remain competitive.
