Arsenal are set to commence their Premier League title defense later this month but will have to do so without William Saliba for the first few months of the season after he suffered a back injury at the summer World Cup. The Frenchman has decided against undergoing surgery and is expected to remain unavailable during that period, impacting their defensive options early on in the campaign.
Reports indicate Arsenal are planning an ambitious £43m transfer target on Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero to bolster their key area of defense. This potential move aims to strengthen squad depth while they look to secure a top-four finish or more without relying solely on current starting options like Saliba during his recovery time.
With both the injury situation and new signing rumors in play, how do you think Arsenal will balance these factors as they prepare for their upcoming season?
