‘Goodness me’ Alan Shearer impressed with this about Arsenal

Alan Shearer has expressed admiration for Arsenal’s impressive squad depth this season after the club strengthened their ranks with additional signings.

Mikel Arteta’s side already boasted some of the finest names in football, but further reinforcements have elevated the overall quality and balance of the team. At the Emirates there is growing confidence that they possess one of the strongest squads on the continent, with the clear ambition of turning that strength into silverware.

Arsenal’s Evolution in Squad Strength

In past seasons Arsenal’s fortunes often suffered when key figures such as Bukayo Saka or Martin Odegaard were unavailable through injury. Their absence typically left the team vulnerable and created difficulties in maintaining consistency. That situation has changed significantly. At present, both players are out of action, yet there is no widespread suggestion that the side has been weakened. This marks a notable shift, highlighting the benefits of carefully building depth and resilience.

The Gunners have continued to achieve positive results in spite of those setbacks, and expectations remain high that they will sustain their momentum. Their ability to compete strongly across multiple competitions is now underpinned by the assurance that quality replacements can step in seamlessly. This improvement demonstrates the success of their recruitment strategy and the determination to compete at the highest level.
