Arsenal "rationed salaries" as scale of Arsene Wenger's restrictions laid bare

Arsenal managed to achieve great success under Arsene Wenger despite working under severe financial restrictions, according to former co-owner David Dein.

The Gunners are now embarking on a new era under Mikel Arteta, with the club shelling out huge transfer fees over the past two summer transfer windows. Backed by owner Stan Kroenke, the club have strengthened their squad by signing players like Gabriel Jesus (£45million), Oleksandr Zinchenko (£32m), Fabio Vieira (£34m), Ben White (£50m) and Martin Odegaard (£30m).

The current picture is quite the contrast to the Wenger era, which stretched from 1996 to 2018. The former Arsenal boss won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups during his spell in charge, in spite of the limitations placed upon him.
