Arsenal were busy in the summer transfer window, adding more key pieces like Mikel Merino and Riccardo Calafiori as they look to end their more than 20-year wait for another Premier League title. The Gunners have spent boldly over the last couple of years, racking up a spending total of more than £300million over the last two summers alone.
