. Every summer you are adding bricks to this puzzle. Is the puzzle finished now? Are you ready to challenge the Premier League championship?

Artetta: Well, I think we've done it in the last three years (challenged the championship), and now we know what's next, we'll get better. Like any other team, when you look at the competitors and look at the sectors they add to the puzzle, some are also very important signings. So, we are all trying to be the best we can and be ready to compete for the Premier League championship. What do Dowman's first-team teammates say about him? How did they react to this? Obviously, he is a huge genius. Looking ahead, how realistic is his prospect of playing in the Premier League this season?

Artetta: Their reaction was very obvious. They will pass the ball to him when they get it. It's enough to show how much they trust him and the relationship he's building on the team. I don't think there is anything better than this. They showed confidence to make things happen and the constant connection between them and him.

So what about the Premier League appearance time? Is this realistic this season?

Artetta: Let's see how things are going. First play Saturday's game, and then he needs a small vacation because he hasn't actually had much rest. So for the next few days, I think he needs a break. After international match day, he will be ready to set off again.

You have been very close to winning the championship in the past few seasons. As you enter this new Premier League season, what lessons will you learn or what adjustments will you make?

Artetta: Well, it's slightly different every season. A lesson from last season was that player attendance was definitely a key factor and had a huge impact on the chances of winning the Premier League or the Champions League. Especially in the last three or four months of last season, we really struggled at this point. I think we made some good decisions to address this potential issue, bringing in a lot of players who are capable of being competent in different positions at the highest level. I think we are stronger.
