Arsenal's £ 67.5 million acquisition of Ebereechi Eze will take on Mikel Arteta's transfer expenditure north of £ 1 billion.
The Gunners hijap Tottenham's Swoop for Eze after Thomas Frank's side had closed a deal with Crystal Palace.
Eze, 27, will undergo a medical on Friday in London Colney, after he has recorded Palace against Fredrikstad in the Conference League tonight.
Arsenal splashed the money again this summer and has spoken about £ 270 million on Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, Crishian Mosquera and Eze.
Since the arrival in December 2019, Arteta is allowed to sort out a lot of money to reform his team.
The upcoming arrival of Eze takes the transfer expenditure of the Spaniard boss at around 1,097 billion, with a stunning net expenditure of around £ 750 million.
For the context, Pep Guardiola's mega-rich Manchester City spent around £ 972 million on transfers in the same period with a net expenditure of only £ 220 million because of various large money sales.
While the Gunners have had difficulty splitting players for large transfer costs, City is a well -oiled machine in this respect.
The men of Guardiola have done many controversial sales, including Leroy Sane to Bayern Munich, Cole Palmer to Chelsea and Riyad Mahrez to the Saudi Pro League, but they are some of the less spectacular deals that help them balance the books.
For example, City recently received around £ 25 million from Borussia Dortmund for Yan Couto … Despite the fact that the Brazilian never really played a match for them.
Of the Arsenal that Xi started that last weekend against Manchester United was chosen, only Bukayo Saka and William Saliba were not signed by Arteta.
But for every success story of recruitment, such as Gabriel Magalhaes and Declan Rice, there are some horrors.
In 2022, for example, the Gunners will splash around £ 34 million on Fabio Vieira.
Arsenal is currently struggling to shift the Portuguese flop, after he had passed an average season in Porto in Porto in Porto for the last time out.
The Gunners also spent £ 19.5 million on Takehiro Tomiyasu, who has since ended his contract a year earlier, as well as £ 32 million to Fringe Player Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Due to injuries, Gabriel Jesus cost £ 45 million, while the Gunners also spent £ 17 million spending on the forgotten man Albert Sambi Lokonga in 2021.
In the meantime, City landed Erling Haaland for a cut at £ 51.4 million – but spent £ 100 million on Jack Grealish and £ 45 million on Kalvin Phillips.
Since Arteta left his Etihad Stadium Post as NO2 from Guardiola to rock in Arsenal, Man City has won four Prem titles, a FA Cup, two competition heads and the Champions League.
In the meantime, Arsenal has won a lonely FA cup, in 2020 behind closed doors because of COVID-19.
It is remarkable that no player from the starting XI stays in the club that day – with Kieran Tierney the last man to continue in the summer.
From the MatchDay team the last time the Gunners won a large trophy, only unused substitutes Saka and Reiss Nelson are still in the books.
