Summary:

• Arsenal’s new direction is perfectly clear: They have made six summer signings, all aged 23 or under. There has been a clear attempt to refresh and rejuvenate the squad. There were several imperatives behind Arsenal’s strategic switch: most obviously, a need to rebalance the age profile of the squad. This is a strategic decision made by the whole club.

• While it’s true the owners have made funds available to support the team, most of those deals include performance-related add-ons and staggered payments.

• Perhaps more importantly, these deals have helped Arsenal recalibrate their wage structure.

• Without exception, the new arrivals will receive affordable salaries. Ben White is on £80,000 a week for example, despite costing a significant fee. Comparing White and Varane, the former will cost Arsenal a gross total of £67 million over four years, and will retain significant sell-on value, whilst the latter will cost over £100 million with no sell-on value.

• Arteta was the one who pushed for Ramsdale and White.

• Arsenal do not believe the players they signed are 'kids'. All have considerable experience already.

• The initial list of transfer targets that formed the basis for Arsenal’s summer businesses was actually pulled together in advance of the 2021 January transfer window.

• Firstly, Arteta and technical director Edu draw up a list of requirements. Arsenal’s “scouting"/'football intelligence' team (including the player recruitment co-ordinator, first-team scout, and a***ytics strategy and application chief, etc) then draw up lists of potential targets. Arsenal do have some new scouts working in this team too.

• There was previously tension between the scouting department and 'Stat DNA' department. Data has become a more integrated process alongside scouting following the changes.

• Arteta and his coaching staff both filter and feed into the lists produced by the recruitment team. Both of Arteta’s assistants, Steve Round and Albert Stuivenberg, have a voice in these discussions. The coaches discreetly speak to other clubs' coaches to build up knowledge on the player's character.

• Arteta wanted players' with the right personality.

• Odegaard has been on a list since winter 2020.

• The signings of Lokonga and Tavares were heavily pushed by scouting department. Arteta thanked them for their work on the players - particularly Tavares.

• Indications are Arteta held most influence. He was the one who pushed for Ramsdale when Edu and his team advocated for cheaper options including Neto.

• Arteta is aware part of how he is now judged is his own talent identification in the market.

• Garlick led the charge on negotiating Ramsdale and White due to his relationships with chiefs at both clubs.

• Arsenal wanted to get deals done early but every club found the market challenging. Also, every new contract or singing had to be approved at a board meeting. The board met one to three times a week every week over the window to make decisions.

• The Ramsdale deal was made slower by Sheffield United owners appointing intermediaries. Compromises were found after the owners came to the table themselves.

• Edu led negotiations for Lokonga, Tavares, and Tomiyasu. He was also the one that led charges for Bellerin to Barcelona, interest in Martinez, and interest in Kounde. Edu's language skills were considered very important.

• Most deals done via phone calls, zoom meetings and WhatsApp. Edu, despite holidays which raised considerable public concern, joined all necessary calls whilst he was at every face-to-face meeting with Brighton and Sheffield United.

• Arteta's role in transfers was to convince players of the project and were they would fit in.

• Under Edu’s instruction, it was Garlick who brokered the player contracts.

• This summer Arsenal have fully dispensed with the inclusion of image rights in new player deals — only one remaining senior player has those, and it is a contract granted by a previous regime.

• Arsenal have also inserted an optional extra year on the deals of each of their summer signings, granting the club more flexibility and agency in their squad planning.

• Kia Joorabchian represented Real Madrid as an intermediary on the Odegaard transfer.

• Once Arteta and Edu have made a decision on a player’s future, it falls to the technical director (with Garlick’s assistance) to negotiate their exit. This is the area where Arsenal have struggled to execute their strategy. It was hoped their expenditure would be offset by recouping significant money through sales. There is a recognition however that it was a difficult market.

• There are other instances, however, where Arsenal could not capitalise on interest. Arsenal received bids for Granit Xhaka and Eddie Nketiah, but without a sale going through.

• In the case of Xhaka, Edu and Arteta determined that Roma’s offer was insufficient to allow an important first-team player to leave. Instead, the club opted to trigger a clause in his contract to extend his deal until 2024.

• Nketiah has shown little interest in signing a new deal. It is surprising the club were not more receptive to Palace's offers.

• KSE deserve some credit for green-lighting the recruitment plan even though the club failed to recoup more money than they did through sales. The club had a strategy and they stuck to it despite the cost.

• Odegaard was always the top target.

• Even in a difficult market, Arsenal would have hoped to bring in more revenue from player trading. Inevitably there will some scrutiny on the technical director. Arsenal may point to the lack of interest in certain players, but ultimately they are responsible for managing the values of their players and choosing the optimum point to sell. Turning down £15 million for Maitland-Niles in 2020, for example, looks increasingly misguided.

• CM and ST will be priorities in windows to come.

I know its hardly a summary but it is a massive article with lots of detail that is tough to leave out.
