Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta appears to have been given a blessing from the Kronkes that could see him spend big in the upcoming January transfer window. The Spaniard is facing a huge month ahead, where decisions in the market could make or break their ambitions this season.
The Gunners were able to quickly put behind the disappointment of last season, where they missed out on a top four finish and a return to the Champions League, by signing a number of key players to improve the squad. It resulted in a quick start, but it seems that is unlikely to fade at this moment in time.
The side now sit top of the Premier League, several points clear of second-place Manchester City in what is turning out to be a battle for the title. The two key disadvantages Arteta has in comparison to Pep Guardiola is experience of winning titles and quality in depth in the squad.
