Arsenal manager Unai Emery has said that fans can be excited about the new summer arrivals at the Emirates stadium, but has insisted he wants that excitement replicated for every player who pulls on the Gunners' shirt.
While Preparations for the new season were going on, there was work behind the scenes by Raul Sanllehi and Edu in bringing six new players through the door at the Emirates Stadium - Gabriel Martinelli, Dani Ceballos, William Saliba, Nicolas Pepe, David Luiz and Kieran Tierney all arrived during the transfer window.
The arrivals have caused excitement and optimism among Gunners' fans, and while happy with the balance the new additions bring to the team, Emery has also highlighted the importance of players who were already at the club alongside the summer signings.
"Every player is very important for me," he told Arsenal's official website.
"The new players, the young players, the players who have been with us for a lot of time. Really, we need a good mix of everybody and take care to create a new ambition, a new motivation, and also create our way with them.
"Above all, we want to connect with our supporters. Really we can be very excited about some players, but I want to have the same level of excitement for [Nicolas] Pepe, for example, or [Dani] Ceballos, David Luiz or [Gabriel] Martinelli as I am with Reiss Nelson, with [Joe] Willock, with Emile Smith Rowe.
"Also with the players who were working with us last year like Mesut Ozil, [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang, [Alexandre] Lacazette, Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding, [Bernd] Leno... everybody, we can be excited about every player."
