The Arsenal Ambition: What Guimaraes' Signing Really Means for Arteta and His Squad Mikel Arteta's claim that Bruno Guimaraes will help take Arsenal to "the next level" is intriguing, not just because it suggests a renewed sense of ambition from the club, but also because it raises questions about what this new level entails.
For fans who have grown accustomed to the ebb and flow of Premier League seasons, Arteta's words evoke memories of previous summers when similar declarations were made, only to fade into the background as the season unfolded.
The £75 million spent on Guimaraes is a significant investment for Arsenal, particularly given the uncertainty surrounding Jurrien Timber's return from injury.
