It would be interesting to see if they could get through a few weeks without him. Arsenal hopes to win a league title this season and will need to address the issue of injuries. They are able to properly improve their squad this summer and have enough depth to deal with the absence of French international.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Arsenal signed Piero Hincapie on the deadline, but it will be interesting to see if South Americans can fill in the blanks left by the French.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arsenal_must_win_a_major_trophy\"><\/span>Arsenal must win a major trophy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/William-Saliba-in-action-for-Arsenal-vs-Everton-414x310.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/William-Saliba-in-action-for-Arsenal-vs-Everton-630x471.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/William-Saliba-in-action-for-Arsenal-vs-Everton-768x575.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/William-Saliba-in-action-for-Arsenal-vs-Everton-770x576.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/William-Saliba-in-action-for-Arsenal-vs-Everton-900x674.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/William-Saliba-in-action-for-Arsenal-vs-Everton.jpg.webp 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">William Saliba Action for Arsenal vs Everton (Photo by Alex Panling\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">Arsenal has been closer to winning a league title in recent years, but they have not managed to get past the line. Mikel Arteta puts a lot of pressure on offering the major trophies of this season after spending a significant amount of money since being taken over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Arsenal has the highest net spending in the Premier League this summer, and fans are hoping for a pitch outcome.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It will certainly be difficult in future matches without their best defenders, but they have enough quality and depth to get the job done.
