Arsenal have not played in the elite European competition since 2017. But if they do qualify for the competition ahead of the next campaign, then Redknapp believes that the Gunners will benefit from a transfer perspective. “This is more than a top-four race, because it’s Tottenham and Arsenal. This means so much because next year trying to recruit, with top players coming through.” Redknapp said on Sky Sports Super Sunday.
