The spending at Arsenal in the last few summers has been that of a side with ambitions of finishing in much higher positions than they have recently been able to muster, a situation made more difficult by the lack of money coming into the club by player sales.
Edu is determined to try and change this considering the number of players who have left the club on free transfers or minimal fees. Meanwhile, Arsenal are pushing to strengthen the squad and will take their spending this window to over £100 million should they close a deal for Manchester City’s Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Arsenal have reportedly agreed to an approximate £30 million deal with Mikel Arteta’s former club to sign the Ukrainian. The cost of the versatile midfielder and full-back can be justified through both his quality, age and utility.
