Episode Notes

Hello everyone and welcome back to Inside Arsenal.

In today's show I look at the dilemma that could be facing Mikel Arteta when it comes to his midfield in the early weeks of the Premier League season given how many of his players remain at the World Cup. I also discuss Arsenal's move for goalkeeper Illan Meslier.
