The club has made big signings, but some feel there are still gaping holes in the squad, which could derail their season.

Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs De Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui have been signed to bolster the squad.

Still, pundits have raised concerns about the quality of the midfield. However, the club could sign midfielders before the window shuts.
