Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City have all spent tens of millions bolstering already impressive squads while the only first XI addition made by the Gunners is Chelsea reserve goalkeeper Petr Cech.

But Jenas thinks Cech's arrival will be crucial, telling the BBC that he will be worth "an extra five to 10 points" a season.

"They'll be the one team that Jose Mourinho will really fear this year," Jenas added.

"If they can put them under a lot more pressure, and stay close to them throughout the duration of the season, then you never know."
