Mikel Arteta shares the same excitement as Arsenal's supporters ahead of the new Premier League signing.

The Gunners have signed five players this summer, including Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City.

Speaking ahead of Friday's opener against Crystal Palace, Arteta said: "It's great that people are excited. But there is a big excitement across the Premier League because a lot of clubs have done a lot of business, getting stronger and stronger. The competition is really big; we focus on what we can do, what we want to do and we want to be at the top of the table.

"You try every day to be more excited and love your players more and feel more privileged of where you are. The more things you do that are related to the way you feel, and you share that feeling with the club like we do, then it becomes a common thing.

"At the end it's not about me, it's about how we all feel about what we are doing. We all feel an integral part of it, especially our supporters, when we do that. I always say it becomes very, very powerful."
