FEWEST SIGNINGS: Arsenal ahead of Crystal Palace, Tottenham

Arsenal made just one signing in the summer transfer window.


The £10million acquisition of Petr Cech from Chelsea in late June was the only piece of incoming business the Gunners did for the entirety of the all-important transfer season.

Arsenal were the only club in the top five European leagues not to sign a new outfield player as Arsene Wenger shows faith in his current squad to challenge for the Premier League title.

Behind the Gunners in the 'fewest transfers' table is Crystal Palace, Everton, Newcastle United and North London rivals Tottenham.
