Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke has been told he needs to spend in excess of £250million this summer to ensure his club's progress this season doesn't go to waste.
For so long, Mikel Arteta's side appeared destined for a glorious Premier League title win, only for their challenge to completely unravel amid a run of just nine points in seven games. Their hopes were all but mathematically ended on Sunday, amid a harrowing 3-0 defeat to Brighton at the Emirates.
Amid their faltering form, the depth of the Gunners' first squad has been exposed, with an injury to centre back William Saliba in February proving pivotal. And now Simon Jordan, former owner of Crystal Palace, has warned Kroenke he can forget another title charge if he doesn't put his hand in his pocket imminently.
