Arsenal's big bets in this summer transfer window are risky

Back in May, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta annoyed pretty much everyone who wasn't an Arsenal fan.

"Winning trophies is about being in the right moment in the right place," he said. "Liverpool have won the title with less points than we have in the last two seasons. With the points of the past two seasons, we have two Premier League [titles]."

He was wrong and right at the same time. Liverpool ultimately won the league for the 2024-25 season with 84 points -- five fewer than Arsenal had the season before, and the same amount the Gunners accrued when they finished second in 2022-23.
