Gunners go for Europe glory

Arsenal start their bid for Champions League glory against Athletic Bilbao today powered by a new-look attack revitalised by the Gunners’ summer spending spree.

Mikel Arteta's side reached the semifinals of Europe's top competition for the first time since 2009 last season before losing to eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsenal also fell short in the Premier League, where they ended as runners-up for a third consecutive season, partly due to a misfiring forward line.

Arteta set about remedying that issue over the close-season, with Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze adding extra firepower and depth to the Arsenal attack.

With Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus all sidelined by injury in the opening weeks of the new campaign, that expensive overhaul has already proved a wise investment.
