Arsenal are in for an expensive summer with their aim to sign Declan Rice for a club-record fee only the start. There remains interest in other expensive players like Moises Caicedo and needs in defence and creative still to be sold with significant investment needed to secure the targets they want.
However, this mega-spending that has been happening at the club for some time is not expected to be the norm in the future. In fact, according to the Evening Standard, Stan Kroenke wants Arsenal to succeed but to do so while remaining a ‘self-sufficient’ club.
Now, I imagine that many Arsenal supporters might shudder at seeing those words, perhaps even emotions of frustration and even anger might begin to bubble. I can empathise with that, the Gunners have come so close to a title and now as they’re looking to go one step further, talk of economic sustainability is back? No!
