During what has been an eye-catching summer on and off the pitch, The Breakdown has been closely following our pre-season matches to see how Mikel Arteta is evolving his squad and their style of play.

He's run the rule over our new signings and what they offer, what William Saliba adds to the side, dissects Aaron Ramsdale's distribution and has his say on Gabriel Jesus' impressive start to life in a Gunners shirt.
