Arteta’s belief in the underlying figures, in the expected goals metric and other analytical and statistical aids, is undisputed.

But he seems to be a believer in the ‘a more heavy’ theory of football management.

A few important additions – with Martin Zubimendi and Leipzig from Real Sociedad peak Benjamin Sesko Clearly identified as the priority acquisitions for about £ 115 million for the couple – to continue to what he has, and that will be enough. Except that it might not be.
