In the summer Arsenal and Tottenham enjoyed decent transfer windows, in our opinion.
The Gunners solved a number of problems in their team, mainly through the acquisition of Takehiro Tomiyasu for 16 million pounds.
In Tottenham’s case, they also brought good players to North London, with Bryan Gil of £ 21.6 million a prominent purchase.

However, the Sports Stadium seems to think that Real Betis used both Arsenal and Tottenham to their advantage in the transfer market.
What is the history?
Well, Real Betis did business with the two North London clubs over the summer.
It was the Spanish team that received € 9 million (£ 7.7 million) as part of the £ 25.7 million deal that saw Emerson Royal join the Spurs, as part of a dual ownership deal.
Another € 5 million (£ 4.3 million) was also pocketed due to a sale clause.

To replace him, Real Betis signed Héctor Bellerin from Arsenal, on loan for one season, to compete with Youssouf Sabaly.
The Sports Stadium claims that Bellerín was their first-choice target.
So how did Real Betis prevail?
The Sports Stadium sums up the situation by explaining that Real Betis secured their first option at Bellerin, raised 14 million euros (12 million pounds) in the process and now have two quality right-backs to fight for a starting position as well.
When you look at it that way, Real Betis really did use the market to their advantage, partly at the expense of Tottenham and Arsenal.

However, Arsenal will not mind, as Tomiyasu has started the season excellently as a right-back.
In Tottenham’s case, Emerson Royal has looked a bit shaky at times, but he has the potential to become a top-tier player in the Premier League.
