Arsenal's January transfer budget revealed as Stan Kroenke set to provide Edu with war chest

Stan Kroenke is set to provide Arsenal with a £105million war chest for the January transfer window, if reports are to be believed.

With the World Cup nearing its climax, domestic clubs will now be thinking about return to Premier League action. the Gunners are set to host West Ham United on Boxing Day as Mikel Arteta's side aim to stretch their lead at the top of the table.

Much has been said about Arsenal's ability to mount a title challenge this season. Few doubt their ability, but because they lack depth in key areas - specifically in midfield and at right-wing - some question whether they have enough to compete with Manchester City in the long term.

With that in mind, Edu and Co. are surely going to be active in the January market. The Gunners are in the market for an attacking player, especially since Gabriel Jesus picked up a damaging knee injury in Qatar.

Plenty of names have subsequently been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium. Luckily, it seems as though Kroenke is set to strongly back Arteta. As per Calciomercato, who quote Italian source Relevo, the Gunners' budget is €120million (£105million). They also add that Arsenal may look to target Serbian duo Dusan Vlahovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Nevertheless, Mykhaylo Mudryk is widely understood to be their priority option, although as they're also a little short in the middle of the park, a central midfielder could also be on their wish list.
