Arsenal director Josh Kroenke believes the club’s activity in the summer transfer market shows they still have an “aura”.

The pressure is on Unai Emery to deliver at Arsenal this season. Failure to finish in the top four or win a trophy could signal an abrupt end for Arsene Wenger’s successor at London’s biggest club. Wenger’s early success and general brilliance ultimately afforded him 22 years running football affairs so replacing him was always going to be a challenge despite fortunes waning towards the end of his reign.

Edu has returned to Arsenal to become the club’s first technical director.
