Arsenal are planning to go big again.

Club director Josh Kroenke has promised that Arsenal will continue to be “proactive” in the transfer market following a landmark summer window which saw them spend over £100m on the likes of Nicolas Pépé, Dani Ceballos, David Luiz, Kieran Tierney and Gabriel Martinelli.

In a new interview, the American has said that he is determined for the club to win back their place in the Champions League and is willing to again spend back to make it happen. “We weren't reactive this summer, we were actually proactive,” he told the BBC. “As for January, I don't want to get ahead of ourselves.

“We've got to evaluate some things in the short term and figure out where we might need to address going forward, so when January does roll around we're going to be proactive again.”
