 How Arsenal could line up if Edu completes Mikel Arteta's £50m transfer wish

Arsenal's track record in the previous three transfer windows have played a vital role in shaping the current state of affairs at the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta's side sit top of the Premier League after 11 games, two points above Manchester City, after hitting the ground running from day one of the 2022/23 season.
