Arsenal are flying over the pitch as Mikel Arteta’s side edged out Fulham in the Premier League season opener of the season as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continued their good form.
The Spaniard is already using the new options at his disposal, and the depth of the Gunners team now provides them with a great opportunity to compete for a top four result. Bukayo Saka and Nicolas Pepe were on the bench against Fulham. While Brazilians Willian and Gabriel have had an instant impact.
There is more to come as well, with the departure of Emi Martinez, likely for Aston Villa, so a new backup goalkeeper will be needed. While Arteta is willing to sell a player to increase his bankroll, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Hector Bellerin good options to fund a deal for Thomas Partey or Houssem Aouar.
NEW SIGNATURES BRING SPARK IN THE OPENER
Willian and Gabriel shone as Arteta’s Arsenal continues to gather momentum, writes Tony Evans.

KOLASINAC IN WEST HAM WISH LIST
Sead Kolasinac is one of several full-backs West Ham is considering, writes David Ornstein in Athletic.
The Bosnian international has fallen behind Kieran Tierney and Ainsley Maitland-Niles in the pecking order at The Emirates and would enjoy more first-team action at London Stadium.
However, wages can be a problem. Kolasinac was a free agent when he signed a five-year contract in 2017, with a weekly salary of £ 100,000.

LAMPARD REACTS TO ACCUSATIONS OF OVERPENDENCY
I found it a bit funny because I think when you talk about club owners, I don’t think it matters what line of business they come from. Liverpool have spent large amounts and have also bought very good players.
The reality is that most of the clubs that win the league have recruited well and with a fairly high level of money. “You can go through the Liverpool players: Van Dijk, Alisson, Fabinho, Keita, Mane, Salah. Incredible players who were priced too high. Liverpool have done it for a while. What we have done is get out of a ban.
I probably mentioned the transfer ban quite a bit last year. Maybe I felt that was one of the reasons we were 30 points behind the top two teams.
