EPL: Arsenal make multiple last ditch transfers

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger bolstered his squad with four final day signings as the transfer window shut on Wednesday amongst a flurry of deals.  Along with the earlier signing of Park Chu-Young, Everton midfielder Mikel Arteta, Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun, Fenerbahce defender Andre Santos, and giant Werder Bremen centre-back Per Mertesacker are all on their way to the Emirates Stadium. While the signings might lack the pizazz of some of their rivals, they should soothe the fans in the short term. However, the pressure will remain on Wenger to quickly get the best out of his new look team before the league season advances too far.
