‘You have to be the best on the market.’ Arteta comments on Arsenal's interest in Rodrygo Getty Images

London’s Arsenal have once again finished the season without silverware, drawing mockery even from Tottenham, who became Europa League champions. But Mikel Arteta is determined to put an end to that.

Details: The Arsenal manager responded to rumors linking the Gunners with Real Madrid forward Rodrygo, stating that only the strongest players can help secure trophies.

Quote: “If you want to win major trophies, you have to be the best on the market, right? The teams that win always have the best players. I wouldn’t want to mention any names, but there’s a sense of pride because we’ve brought the club to a position where, next season, people are saying: ‘You have to win the main trophy.’

And that means everyone believes we are an elite team in this country and in Europe. The biggest statement is that Arsenal are there. Given the number of injuries in our frontline, it’s clear we need more goal threat and firepower. Knowing that things can change tomorrow, we can’t rely only on the numbers we’ve had before,” said Arteta.
