Fans are waiting for Arteta to turn his huge spending into glory |
After Crystal Palace confirmed the sale of Eberechi Eze to Arsenal for up to £67.5 million (about €80 million), Arteta's total spending at the Emirates Stadium has surpassed the €1 billion mark. According to The Athletic , since Arteta took charge of Arsenal in 2019, no coach in the world has spent more than the Spaniard.
In the summer transfer window of 2025 alone, Arsenal spent more than 300 million euros, putting the team far ahead of many of its rivals in terms of investment. Only Liverpool (340 million euros) bought more than Arsenal this summer.
When looking at net spending (money spent on players minus money spent on players sold), since Arteta took over in December 2019, the North Londoners have spent €850m, far more than Manchester City - who spent just £198m under Pep Guardiola in the same period.
However, Manchester City's success with back-to-back Premier League titles and a Champions League title in the past five years compared to Arsenal's one FA Cup title highlights the pressure Arteta faces.
Arteta's spending strategy is backed by owner Stan Kroenke, who has given him huge confidence in the transfer market to build an Arsenal side that can compete for trophies. However, if Arsenal continue to fail to win any trophies this season, the possibility of Mikel Arteta being sacked is a real possibility.
