Guendouzi, Martinelli and other gems: how Arsenal always signs the best prospects? Transfer strategy explained in 6 sentences

• Looking above the surface: unlike Real Madrid and other European giants, Arsenal are almost never after the most-hyped youngster in Brazil or France – the cost of the mistake, in this case, is too high.
• Playing time: at the moment, every promising youngster knows that he is going to get his chance to shine and won't spend the years of his contract sitting on the bench waiting for a rare injury time-cameo – this is the reputation you want to have as a club among young players.
• Low fees: Matteo Guendouzi might have not cost us as much as the sum Rennes reportedly asking for their starlet Eduardo Camavinga but it doesn't make him any worse of a player.

By the way, he was nominated for the Golden Boy award last year!

• Ability to see potential: when Virgil van Dijk was at Celtic he was hardly hyped as the best defender in the world; same goes for Lewandowski and Aubameyang, who both were relatively unknown before their Dortmund spell – Arsenal scouts, too, know how to spot these stars in making.
• Right player profile: what way Matteo Guendouzi and Gabriel Martinelli are alike – they both are exactly what the team needed when Arsenal signed them, which made it possible for them to adapt in no time.

• Manager factor: Just like under Arsene Wenger before, young players might be sure again that the manager will be focused on their development – with Mikel Arteta they are in good hands.

What are your thoughts on Arsenal's transfer market strategy? Should we continue to focus on the youth?
