Kai's goal was crystal clear!
This era's Arsenal…
Was home to the "Four Loyal Gentlemen" — a nickname widely mocked by future generations of fans.
Fabregas, Van Persie, Nasri, Alexandre Song!
They paraded under a banner of loyalty and honor on the surface…
But their actions? All acts of betrayal against the club.
One of them, and also Arsenal's former captain, Fabregas—
Had already deserted the club, defecting to Spain.
At this moment, Arsenal…
Had a new captain: Kai.
And the very first thing he had to do—
Was to clean out the hidden cancer within the squad!
And the first to go?
Naturally, Arsenal's current vice-captain: Van Persie.
According to memories from his previous life—
After inheriting the captain's armband from Fabregas, Van Persie carried the hopes of all Arsenal fans on his shoulders…
Only to betray the club in his second season, citing a "desire for trophies" and "ambition" as reasons to join Arsenal's bitter rival—Manchester United!
He even earned himself a mocking nickname: "Van Ambition."
Kai had already reviewed Arsenal's squad list for this season.
Van Persie was the undisputed lead striker up front.
This season, there was no doubt he would be Arsenal's first-choice center forward.
First-choice striker?
If his starting spot was so secure…
Then it was time to put some pressure on him!
Kai immediately instructed Mendes to start running around Europe.
And soon enough—he got it done.
In this crazy transfer window that had everyone's attention…
Arsenal's second major signing was unveiled.
Giroud, the Ligue 1 center forward, transferred to Arsenal for just €3 million!
Arsenal fans were confused.
This towering striker—standing a full 1.93 meters tall—
They'd barely even heard of him before!
But €3 million? That was certainly cheap!
From Kai's perspective—
This was Giroud joining Arsenal two years ahead of schedule.
At this moment, he didn't have the golden boot aura from Ligue 1, and his market value was only €3 million.
But what Kai valued—
Was not only that Giroud could compete with Van Persie for a starting spot…
It was also Giroud's role as a "pivot" up front—something Kai saw as an added strategic advantage.
This big center forward, already making waves in Ligue 1…
Would now don the Arsenal kit starting this season.
And would compete head-to-head with Van Persie for that striker role!
This was Kai's first step in "disciplining" Van Ambition off the pitch.
Sure enough—
Right after Giroud's signing was announced…
That very night—
Van Persie's agent angrily called the club, trying to express his dissatisfaction.
But all that anger was swiftly shut down by Arsenal.
The next day—
Van Persie, who was on break during the offseason, rushed back to the club.
In front of the media, he urgently proclaimed his loyalty to the club!
"I am loyal to Arsenal! As long as I wear this shirt, I will give my all and charge forward for the club!"
The press, sharp-tongued as ever, asked:
"Your No. 10 shirt has now been stripped away by the new captain—any resentment?"
Facing the cameras, Van Persie laughed awkwardly and said:
"What kind of nonsense is that? Of course not!"
"Our new captain is the pride of this club. He will lead us forward! This season, I'll work closely with him—we'll form the best attacking combo in the Premier League and shake up all of England!"
The interview spread rapidly across English football.
Arsenal fans found it deeply satisfying.
It was clear—
Kai, now acting like a director behind the scenes, had used a subtle but powerful move in Arsenal's transfer window…
Making Van Persie, who once felt secure in his starting role, feel a very real sense of crisis!
The major media outlets all picked up the story.
And in the following month or so—
Under Kai's direction, Arsenal made even more moves.
With the striker position now handled—
The midfield had Kai anchoring it, so there were no worries there.
Naturally, the next focus turned to the defense!
From Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, the towering defender Per Mertesacker—
Transferred to Arsenal!
Arsenal fans were thrilled!
Their defense for the new season was getting a huge upgrade!
But that wasn't the end of it...
Kai sent Mendes to the Netherlands.
In the Netherlands, at FC Groningen—
Virgil van Dijk had just finished a training match. He stared blankly at Mendes standing before him.
"I can go to the Premier League?!"
Only 20 years old, Van Dijk's eyes lit up with overwhelming excitement and longing.
This was the younger version of the future world-class center-back!
At this time, he was still stuck in the Dutch league, and his career was set to continue in the Scottish league next.
It would be another four or five years before he would finally realize his dream of playing in the Premier League!
But Kai was bringing everything forward.
He brought this incredibly talented young center-back straight to North London.
[BREAKING: Groningen defender Van Dijk joins Arsenal for €3.5 million!]
Another major transfer flashed across the screens of Arsenal fans!
With that—
Arsenal's summer transfer window activity was complete.
The Gunners were now reinforced across all departments with ready-to-play reinforcements!
At the same time—
There were still two "uninvited guests" on Arsenal's roster.
Park Chu-young from South Korea, and Ryo Miyaichi from Japan!
They were promising Asian stars Arsenal had picked up a few seasons ago.
Rumors at the time called them the "Twin Dragons of Asia," set to sweep across England as the "Asian Storm."
But Kai showed no mercy.
With a single phone call to Wenger, he instructed the club to remove both players from the first-team roster!
Fans from Japan and South Korea were furious!
On Korean forums, fans raged in protest:
"Why was our player unilaterally terminated? Him making it to the Premier League is our pride!"
"Arsenal will regret this! They believed rumors and ignored the talent of our players—don't expect them to win a single trophy this season!"
The Asian fanbase was thrown into chaos!
And with Kai's across-the-ages strategic planning—
This transfer window triggered a chain reaction across Europe.
That season, former Spurs manager André Villas-Boas took over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge!
And Mauricio Pochettino arrived at White Hart Lane—three years ahead of schedule—taking charge of Tottenham!
At the same time—
Son Heung-min, still playing for Hamburg in the Bundesliga, arrived in the Premier League four years early!
He joined Tottenham and became one of Pochettino's disciples.
The Premier League's competitive landscape for the new season was shifting dramatically!
At Manchester United, they brought in talented goalkeeper David de Gea.
In midfield, academy graduate Paul Pogba was promoted to the first team!
The Red Devils had clearly improved their squad from the previous season.
At Manchester City, Sergio Agüero joined from Atlético Madrid.
The Argentine striker was set to lead the Blue Moon's attack in the new campaign.
At Tottenham, Bundesliga winger Son Heung-min arrived.
He would now pair with Gareth Bale to form a devastating wide duo for Spurs!
Korean fans went wild with excitement!
Everyone knew—Arsenal and Tottenham were century-old enemies in North London!
They often said: in a city like London, full of powerhouse clubs, only one clash could truly be called a "derby."
The North London Derby.
Korean fans began hyping up the young Son Heung-min.
In the upcoming season's North London Derby—
They hoped their Korean superstar would lead Tottenham to crush their bitter rivals, Arsenal!
Meanwhile, Liverpool had been in decline in recent years.
Club legend Steven Gerrard was aging.
But in the new season, they welcomed Ajax striker Luis Suárez!
Liverpool now had the firepower to contend for the Premier League title!
Among all the Premier League giants—
The team that drew the most attention was undoubtedly Arsenal this season!
After signing Kai—the world's first-ever €100 million player in history—the Gunners had reinforced every key area of their lineup!
In attack, big center-forward Giroud added much-needed depth to a previously thin striker rotation.
In goal, Szczęsny remained first choice.
In defense, the young Dutchman Van Dijk, the towering Mertesacker, along with backbone defenders Koscielny, Sagna, and Gibbs.
And in midfield—anchored and led by Kai himself!
Arsenal's new-season lineup was bursting with momentum!
Fans were stunned!
The average age of this Arsenal squad was just a little over 20!
And their star player Kai—had just left youth team level!
This youthful Arsenal storm was about to stir up an overwhelming wave of madness in the Premier League!
As fans buzzed with excitement—
Another piece of breaking news soon entered the public eye…
