Arsenal manager Unai Emery, who replaced long time boss Arsene Wenger in May, says his “squad is complete” now. The 46-year-old Spaniard says the north London side will only add another player this summer transfer window if it’s a “big opportunity.”

Emery won’t rule out additional signings between now and when the window closes, but he stated that he’s content to stand pat with the transfer business that’s already been done. The Basque country native says that if his side does add to the squad, it will be only one more player, maybe two, at the absolute most.
