Arsenal's dream start

Despite the bookmakers' reservations about Arsenal winning the new season's title, which is always slightly lower than Liverpool's, the North London team will certainly always be one of the most talked about names in the Premier League this season. After an active summer in the transfer market with around £270 million spent, the "Gunners" have not only strengthened their squad depth but also added pieces that promise to improve their playing style.

The most notable of the eight signings is that of Eberechi Eze. The English midfielder joined Arsenal from Crystal Palace for £65 million and is considered one of the most valuable signings of the transfer window. Eze possesses skillful technique, the ability to escape pressing in tight spaces and especially creativity in handling situations. This is the factor that Arsenal lacks when Martin Odegaard is closely marked or when they need to make a difference against opponents playing deep defense.

Eze is expected to combine with Viktor Gyokeres, the Swedish striker who has just had an explosive season with Sporting Lisbon, to create a "lethal" connection in the final third. If Gyokeres brings strength, pressing ability and diverse finishing, Eze will be the one to provide the ball, create breakthroughs to stretch the opponent's defense.

In parallel, Noni Madueke, an English star with excellent speed and good ability to stick to the sidelines, promises to help coach Mikel Arteta have more options to penetrate from the right wing, opening up more attacking options. Madueke was initially considered a "useless" investment, but when Bukayo Saka was injured and it was unclear when he would return, the former Chelsea star suddenly became a suitable and long-term replacement.

When Odegaard and Saka were taken off early in the 5-0 win over Leeds United, many fans sighed in frustration, recalling the same situation last season. No one had forgotten the London team's slump when Saka was injured and sidelined for a long time last year. However, many fans were optimistic that this season's Arsenal squad was capable of replacing the personnel who were absent for various reasons, with Noni Madueke being an example.

Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Christian Norgaard and Ben White have not been able to return to the pitch, Odegaard and Saka have just been injured, this is the time for coach Mikel Arteta to fully exploit the strength built up over the summer. Arsenal are expected to maintain their impressive form despite the loss of squad, continuing to deploy a style of play that controls the ball, presses high and is solid in the midfield.

With the addition of Eze, along with the form of Gyokeres starting to get into the groove and the potential explosion of Madueke, Arsenal now owns a more diverse firepower than ever, not to mention Leandro Trossard or Gabriel Martinelli ready to compete equally for a starting position. In addition, teenage stars such as Myles Lewis-Skelly (19 years old), Ethan Nwaneri (18) or Max Dowman (15) are all potential faces with promise after extremely impressive debuts.
