Arsenal's title credentials look ominous just two games into the new Premier League season, according to BBC News, with the club sitting on maximum points as the transfer window slams shut.
The Gunners, who ended a 22-year wait for the championship last season, had a relatively low-key final day of the window, having already tied up most of their major business earlier in the summer. That contrasts with rivals who scrambled on deadline day, and suggests Arsenal's recruitment plan was completed well ahead of schedule.
With their squad already strengthened and business largely settled before the late scramble that engulfed other top-flight clubs, the report frames the question facing the rest of the league bluntly: who, if anyone, has the tools to stop Arsenal this season? BBC News stops short of naming specific new arrivals in this piece, focusing instead on the broader picture of a club that looks settled, confident and ready to defend its crown after finally ending its long trophy drought.
