Arsenal's board are preparing to back Mikel Arteta with significant January funding to help the Gunners sustain their early title challenge. The Arsenal manager was provided with close to £150million to spend in the summer and the Gunners boss is set to receive more money to add quality depth to his squad.
After 11 Premier League games, Arsenal sit at the top of the table with nine wins, one draw and one defeat placing them two points ahead of Manchester City. At the weekend, Arteta's side dropped points away to Southampton after a second-half strike from Stuart Armstrong cancelled out Granit Xhaka's early opener.
In their last two league games against Southampton and Leeds, Arsenal have struggled to dominate games the way they were doing in the early part of the season with Arteta often needing to rely on the same core group of players in two competitions, but he is set to receive some assistance in January from Stan Kroenke, who, according to The Sun, will inject another £50million into the club to help with squad burnout.
