According to Arsenal director Lord Harris the Gunners have £200m in the bank and will “break the club record” to land top target this summer.
Arsene Wenger has been given a war chest capable of signing anyone in the world except perhaps for Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but certainly enough money to land Karim Benzema or Edinson Cavani.
The 72-year-old owner of Carpetright told the Daily Mail: “We could go into the market and probably buy any player in the world, apart from half a dozen who are un-buyable. In the accounts, there’s over £200million in the bank. You could say to Arsene we’ve got no money and he wouldn’t worry, or you could give him £100m and he might not spend it.
“At the moment there are no plans to sign anyone, unless he finds a real superstar like Mesut Ozil or Alexis Sanchez. He’s looking for one of those but there aren’t many available.
“We would back him to break the club’s transfer record. If he wanted the man, he could have him. Apart from Messi and Ronaldo, he could have any player. We will probably have to break the club record to get the man he wants.”
