Record transfer spending by Arsene Wenger powered by Gunners growing commercial clout

Though that is notably lower than at the same stage in 2015, when the club made 18.2m before tax, the financial outlook at Arsenal remains positive with turnover from football up by over 20m to 350.6m.

Arsenal Holdings PLC remains free from short term debt and reported a cash balance of 191.1m, a figure only slightly lower knock off mother of pearl clover bracelet than the previous year ahead of a season in which Arsene Wenger spent around 90m on new players, bringing in Granit Xhaka, Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez among others.

Profits from player sales were notably lower in a year where Arsenal's transfer activity was limited to the signing of Petr Cech and Mohamed Elneny, with no significant departures from Wenger's first team squad.

"I am confident this progress, coupled with strong underlying values, will bring the success we all seek. Our ultimate ambition is clear: to win major trophies and make Arsenal fans at home and around the world proud of this great club. Proud of our values, proud of the way we act and proud of our team."

Wenger has long faced criticism from his supporters for failing to put the sizeable cash reserves at the Emirates to use in the transfer market, but addressed that this summer by spending 33.8m on Xhaka and a combined 52m on Mustafi and Lucas in the final days of the transfer window.

All three have made bright starts imitation alhambra van cleef bracelet to their time at Arsenal, with German centre back Mustafi appearing to be a particularly impressive partner for Laurent Koscielny.

And the defining moment of that season was to come as early as September, when Ruud van Nistelrooy's missed penalty allowed Arsenal to escape their clash with a 0 0 draw.
