Arsenal have been branded stereotypically as reluctant spenders in the past. Arsene Wenger showed strong loyalty, perhaps too much, to his teams and would only spend big if an opportunity was deemed too good to miss by the Frenchman.
Arsenal have spent big on players since Wenger left. Nicolas Pepe arrived in a record £72 million deal from Lille and just last summer Mikel Arteta sanctioned a £50 million move for Brighton defender Ben White.
The Ivorian has not lived up to the massive expectations thus far whilst White has experienced contrasting success. The expectation is now that Arsenal will move for a striker in the summer and big money again is likely to be invested in whoever is deemed the right choice.
