Arsenal technical director Edu has refuted suggestions the club should have spent big money on one player in similar vein to Chelsea's deal for Romelu Lukaku.
The former Gunners midfielder has come in for a lot of criticism for his role in transfers over the past few years.
Some critics have suggested that Edu should have forked out big money on one major signing instead of balancing the money amongst a number of new players.
The Brazilian told Sky Sports: "The case here is we really believe in the players we have in the squad.
"Maybe other people don't but we do. If we start to see the squad together, we believe in the squad. I sit with Mikel and we see the squad.
"We have a striker [Aubameyang] there who delivers to us 25 goals every single season. We have another one [Lacazette] who delivers 15-20 goals every season.
"We have two very powerful young players from the academy in Saka and Smith Rowe. We believe in them and our squad."
