Arsenal chief Edu admits they've attempted to add steel to their XI over the summer.
Edu, a member of the all-conquering 2004 title winning team, said their new signings are about mental and physical strength as well as finesse and skill.
He said: “I think we improved the squad's quality and physicality.
“I think you get all the players who we really focused on. If you see Willian, he brings us experience and a very special physicality in terms of speed.
“If you see Gabriel, he gives us a lot of physicality and presence. Dani Ceballos, quality. Thomas, physicality, quality and mentally he is very strong.
“In the end if you see all these players we brought to the club, they are very good here (points to legs), but they are better here (points to head) which for me is very important.
“When you talk to the players, they have a lot of ambition, they are excited and they are hungry to win a title again."
