Ivan Gazidis has been quick to talk up Arsenal’s position going into this summer’s market, all the while making everyone aware of the difficulties due to the managerial merry-go-round among some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
But in all honesty that isn’t enough of a barrier to prevent Arsenal getting what they want and need this summer.
The club are armed with at least £70million for Arsene Wenger to use as he pleases, while Gazidis has also been quietly pushing for the manager to use all of the resources available to him.
Despite the number of players Arsenal have been linked with and the depth the team needs, there is already a good foundation for a strong starting XI, with only a few additions required.
The emphasis, however, needs to be on building a squad who are capable of handling the pressures of four competitions over the course of the season. There really is no excuse for Wenger not to strengthen considerably ahead of next season.
