In his first summer transfer window at the Emirates, Berta shelled out £250million on seven permanent signings. ‌Arsenal also brought in an eighth, Piero Hincapie, who they're set to pay £45million for in order to make his loan from Bayer Leverkusen permanent. That's put the focus on balancing the books, with Berta hoping to have a better summer when it comes to departures than in 2025. ‌The Times report that Arsenal are planning another refresh after what they hope will be their first Premier League title win in more than two decades. Such a clear-out would, of course, mean Berta getting the chequebook out and replacing some of them.
