But Arteta revealed that their focus will now be about balance and adding “the top quality pieces” that could change the team. He also admitted that they “will do what it takes to get better in every department” in order to move forward and improve even further.
“It is all about the balance. Now we have cleared the deck and now we have a squad balance that is much more like what we want and much more affordable than what we had before. Now we have to start to add the top-quality pieces that they are not necessarily at 18, 19 or 20-years-old,” Arteta said, reported Goal.
“We will do what it takes to get better in every department. Not only the age group but in terms of the quality, in terms of the leadership, in terms of the goal threat of this team, in terms of the physicality of the team that we need to improve as well so there are a lot of areas.”
