Paul Merson has explained why Declan Rice might struggle atArsenalthis season as he highlights the key difference between the Gunners and West Ham.
Mikel Arteta has signed Jurrien Timber, Declan Rice and Kai Havertz while losing only Granit Xhaka as a key member of last season’s squad.
This is a clear sign that they have strengthened their group with some of the finest players they can get.
City has had a quieter transfer window, but they still have most of the players who won the treble for them in the last campaign.
Most football fɑɴȿ would still see them as a strong side, but Pep believesArsenalhas gotten better.
When asked if the Gunners have strengthened their group, he said toSky Sports:
“Yes, definitely.
“Mikel has bɾօυɢҺtArsenalback into the position they were.”

Pep has enjoyed playing the mind games for much of his time in England, so we cannot take him too seriously.
The Spanish gaffer still has a very strong squad to work with and we must not get carried away by what he is saying before the season starts.
We have had a good pre-season, and our signings certainly strengthen us, so there is a good ɾєɑȿօɴ to be optimistic about the campaign.
