Unai Emery has achieved the task of implementing a club overhaul by making signings of excellent players. Arsenal have completed the signing of outstanding players, which include Goalkeeper, Defenders, and Midfielders.

Unai Emery signed Bernd Leno, who is just 26 years which is a young age given the number of staggering qualities he has. Bernd Leno is a German footballer, who plays as Goalkeeper starting his career at VfB Stuttgart in 2011. He was then loaned to Bayer Leverkusen in August 2011, acquiring a permanent transfer to Leverkusen until 2018. The Premier League club announced in June 2018 that Leno has signed on a five-year deal for €25 million.

Bernd Leno is very good at saving penalties which will prove to be important in knockout stages. He is so dedicated to football that he even played with a broken nose in the Champions League last-16 against Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid, which is indeed courageous since Atletico Madrid is one of the most physical teams of the world.

Another great signing by Arsenal is centre-back Sokratis and Defensive midfielder Lucas Torreira from Borussia Dortmund and Sampdoria for €16 million and €30 million. The central area where Arsenal needed to improve in was in the defensive third, which they have already achieved. They have even signed Mattéo Guendouzi (€8 million) and Stephan Lichtsteiner (Free Transfer) from FC Lorient and Juventus respectively.

Torreira (22) and Guendouzi (19) are very young which can help Arsenal to have good players for more amount of time. Arsenal have signed players who are very young as well as useful in their respected positions. The experienced players like Sokratis and Lichtsteiner will undoubtedly provide the right amount of guidance that can nurture a large number of qualities in young and ambitious Arsenal players.

If rumours are proven to be true of Ousmane Dembele joining Arsenal, it would be challenging for other Premier League teams to compete with Arsenal for the title.
