Arsenal’s long-serving director, Lord Harris has insisted that boss, Arsene Wenger will have financial backing from the board this summer. 

Wenger brought German, Mesut Ozil in last summer, breaking the club’s transfer record as the club signed the player from Real Madrid for ÂŁ42 million pounds. 

Lord Harris has admitted that this summer, there are very few players the club can’t afford, as Arsenal prepare to push for the title next season. 

“We want to win the Premier League and the Champions League. If we buy two or three players then I think we can,” Lord Harris said in the London Evening Standard.

“We want to win. We don’t want to be second, we don’t want to be third and we don’t want to be fourth.

“We will support Arsene with the players he wants to buy. He has always been encouraged to spend.” 

Arsenal have been linked with the likes of Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona and Real Sociedad winger, Antoine Griezmann in the summer, while Toulouse right-back Serge Aurier will be an option is Sagna were to leave the club. 

Lord Harris believes only Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi, and Real Madrid duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale would be out of Arsenal’s reach this summer.

lthough Lord Harris refused to confirm the budget available to Wenger, he did admit the club would be willing to allow Wenger to once more break the club’s transfer record.

“We would. It would be easy,” Lord Harris said. “There is a lot of paper talk. I wouldn’t say it is ÂŁ100m, I wouldn’t say it’s ÂŁ50m and I wouldn’t say it’s ÂŁ150m.

“If Arsene has asked for any player then we have always backed him to go and buy. With the exception of Messi, Ronaldo or Bale, we could buy most players.”
