London strategist Arsene Wenger reassures fans, saying that he is ready to pay up to 45 million euros for desired football players.
This summer, the capital club has already sold captain Cesc Fabregas, soon another leader Samir Nasri will leave the team.
Despite this, reinforcements in the market are being sought cautiously, with the only major purchase so far being Lille forward Gervinho. However, a significant amount - almost 20 million euros - has also been spent on the 18-year-old right-back Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who recently celebrated his birthday, but fans have expressed concern about the lack of experienced and already successful players.
"We will pay up to 35, even 45 million euros if we find the right players," Wenger said to "SkySports." "We have no problems with money, the key is to find a high-level football player.
My reputation as a coach who does not want to spend money is unfair. I just don't want to pay for average players."
And he continued: "We are not afraid to spend when we think it's a good opportunity. Fans have enough reason to be proud of the club: its values, management style. We have achieved a lot, so there is no need to be angry.
Of course, we want to win trophies - who doesn't? Last season we were close to that, we fought on all fronts, but things didn't quite go our way everywhere.
