""The new ones that started, the five of them, really impressed with them," Arteta said. "You can sense that there are new relationships flourishing there to become more unpredictable. "Noni [Madueke], I think he was exceptional as well. "We played a front three we never played before. Good exposure for them, in terms of the timing, it was exactly what they needed because they played a lot of minutes so we are very happy.""
"Arsenal spent more than £260 million ($352m) on eight summer signings, five of whom started at Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Arsenal lost captain Martin Odegaard to a shoulder injury after just 18 minutes but dominated Forest regardless with Zubimendi opening the scoring just after the half-hour mark through a sumptuous volley from the edge of the box. Viktor Gyökeres, a £63m ($85m) summer acquisition from Sporting CP, netted his third goal in four games as Eberechi Eze marked his full debut with an assist."
Arsenal invested more than £260 million on eight summer signings, five of whom started against Nottingham Forest. Martin Odegaard exited with a shoulder injury after 18 minutes, but Arsenal dominated and Martín Zubimendi opened the scoring with a sumptuous volley. Viktor Gyökeres scored his third goal in four games while Eberechi Eze provided an assist on his full debut. Cristhian Mosquera deputised for William Saliba with an assured display and Noni Madueke caused continual problems for Forest's defence. Zubimendi added a late header from Leandro Trossard's cross, and the new arrivals have fostered on-field relationships and greater unpredictability.
