Have title contenders done enough in transfer window to challenge Arsenal?
As the transfer window closes for the summer, chief football writer Phil McNulty asks if Arsenal's rivals have done enough to challenge the champions?
Arsenal have started the new Premier League season with a strong record, leading the competition and looking to secure their second consecutive title. The transfer window has seen heavy activity from their rivals, with Manchester City making headline moves. Arsenal's interest in Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez fell through, but they have bolstered their squad with Bruno Guimaraes and Ezri Konsa.
Manchester City, on the other hand, have undergone a significant rebuild, signing high-profile players such as Enzo Fernandez, Iliman Ndiaye, Allan Elias, and others, with a total spending of £458m. Chelsea have also made substantial investments, signing Emiliano Martinez and Morgan Rogers, but their pursuit of Lamine Camara fell through.
While all teams have been active in the transfer market, Arsenal appear to be in the best position to challenge Arsenal for the title.
