Arsene Wenger has £100m to spend on new Arsenal signings this summer, according to reports in England.

The Daily Mail is reporting that the Gunners have given their manager a significant budget as Wenger looks to overhaul his Arsenal squad following a disappointing 2016-17 campaign.

The same article goes on to suggest that Wenger could increase his £100m budget if Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain or Jack Wilshere leave the club this summer.

Arsenal have been linked with a world-record move to sign Kylian Mbappe from Moanco, while Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette is thought to be another potential target.

Wenger spent around £80m on new signings last summer but Switzerland international Granit Xhaka and Spanish forward Lucas Perez struggled to have a telling impact at The Emirates.

Shkodran Mustafi was the pick of the summer arrivals after the German defender formed a solid partnership with France international Laurent Koscielny after his £35m move from La Liga giants Valencia.

Arsenal finished in fifth place in the Premier League table last season to miss out on a place in the Champions League next term.
