Arsenal are in the process of building a squad that they think can help them get to the next level - winning trophies regularly. Mikel Arteta has brought Martin Zubimendi and Noni Madueke to the club, two of what have been described as "tier one signings". The idea is that those players have the capacity and ability to be starters and perform at a high level for a team like Arsenal - but Arteta thinks the tier system is changing because of the fixture schedule.

Mikel Arteta has brought Martin Zubimendi and Noni Madueke to the club, two of what have been described as "tier one signings".
The idea is that those players have the capacity and ability to be starters and perform at a high level for a team like Arsenal - but Arteta thinks the tier system is changing because of the fixture schedule.
Arteta said: "I don't believe in the tier one, two, three system that much now because of the way the game is evolving and the demands we put in with 70, 75 games per season.
"We want to build a team - like other clubs already have - where you look at the squad and you cannot really identify who is going to play tomorrow.
"If we get to that point - and that competitiveness has the right level of co-operation between the players as well - that's what we want."
