Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits he's under pressure to rebuild the team in a rapid time.
Arteta looks at clubs like Leicester and appreciates the jobs they have done over the past two or three years. He sees the building blocks they put in place and the rewards they are now reaping as a result.
Arteta said: “There are a lot of clubs who have done that in recent years.
“You have to be constantly evolving that squad and if you haven't done that for a year or two you get caught up by other clubs.
“You see what Liverpool has done in a few years and the team they were able to develop.
“Manchester City have two teams, but why?
“Because for the last four or five seasons things have been done consistently and they are in a position that they can still do that.
“It's work that doesn't happen overnight, unfortunately when the level is so, so high.
“So a lot of good decisions have to be made and have to continue to be made progressively to keep evolving our squad in the right way to be able to compete and still be sustainable financially.
“There are a lot of clubs that have done things really well in the last two or three years and we can start to see the results right now.
“So the competition to be the top team in the league is very tough.
“We are in a rebuilding moment.
“But at the same time, this club cannot stop.
“This club cannot be thinking this is a project, we have to win and we have to be one of the top teams in the country.
“Straight away, and there is no time to do that unless you are winning."
