On August 5, 2019, Arsenal coach Unai Emery sparked concerns among the club's fans with his comments on transfers.
The Gunners had made a significant splash in the transfer market, splurging £105 million to sign top prospects, including Gabriel Martinelli, William Saliba, Dani Ceballos, and Nicolas Pepe.
However, despite their high spending, Emery's latest comments suggest that their summer transfer business may be over.
Speaking after Arsenal's 2-1 defeat to Barcelona in their last pre-season match, Emery stated, "It has not changed, our idea and our message. Only if we can sign a player who really, really can improve our squad, then we are going to do that."
This message has left fans worried, as it implies that the club may not be willing to make any further signings, despite being linked with moves for players like Celtic's Kieran Tierney and Juventus' Daniele Rugani.
