Arsenal are in line for a £15million transfer windfall ahead of another big summer for Mikel Arteta.
The Spaniard spent more than £150m last summer, bringing in six new recruits to bolster his playing squad – but his spending spree has paid off with the Gunners on the verge of finally ending their multi-year Champions League exile. Arsenal are in pole position to clinch the final European berth ahead of Manchester United and their other top-four rivals, who are running out for games to catch the Gunners.
Even though a return to Europe represents a huge step forward for the Londoners, their squad is still in need of extensive surgery before the club can challenge for the Premier League title again.
