Mikel Arteta has signed plenty of players in his time at the club and the Spaniard now needs to deliver silverware to the club.

Arsenal now though are in a strong financial position to acquire top targets and ranked below are the Gunners’ five most expensive signings of all time, as per transfermarkt.

Viktor Gyokeres signed for Arsenal this summer.

Arteta’s priority was a striker this summer, and he struck a deal with Gyokeres over other target Benjamin Sesko.

Gyokeres overtakes fellow striker Pierre-Emrick Aubameyang on the list, and some Arsenal fans believe the club has yet to replace the Gabon international.

Aubameyang hit 69 Premier League goals in his four years in North London and Gyokeres will have the pressure on him to hit similar numbers.

Martin Zubimendi is another summer arrival for Arsenal at a cost of nearly £60m from La Liga side Real Sociedad.

The German though looks to be replaced up-front due to the capture of Gyokeres will now become the club’s number one striker.

Pepe’s spell at Arsenal did not work out.

Nicolas Pepe was once Arsenal’s club record signing when he arrived in the Premier League for £72m.

Signed under now Aston Villa boss Unai Emery, Pepe was sent out on loan under Arteta in 2022 to Nice and alongside the emergence of Bukayo Saka, the winger could not force his way into the side.

Arsenal did not recoup any money spent on Pepe, as he joined Turkish club Trabzonspor on a free transfer in 2023.
