Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will reportedly get at least £70m to spend in the summer, with Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Watford forward Odion Ighalo, and Leicester City midfielder N'Golo Kante among the targets on his list.

The Daily Mail have reported that Arsenal have £135m in the bank and Wenger is expected to get £70m to spend. It could be Wenger's final season in charge of the Gunners. His contract runs out in May 2017.

The Gunners are still in the race to win the Premier League title this season, but depending on results tonight could be six points behind the leaders. Tottenham and Leicester could both be on 57 points if Spurs defeat West Ham.

Arsenal, currently on 51 points in third place, take on Swansea City at the Emirates Stadium.

The Daily Mail have reported today that Wenger is seeking a new spine to his team, with a new centre back, and striker on his wishlist to improve is squad. The Gunners last won the league back in 2004.

Unfortunately for Wenger, however, the prolific Dortmund striker Aubameyang has previously said he has no desire in joining Arsenal.
