How will Wenger spend his £100 million warchest?

Arsenal are set to target three key players with their £100 million summer transfer budget, according to the Metro.

The club chairman Stan Kroenke is set to hand his manager Arsene Wenger a huge summer transfer budget to strengthen the club and aim for trophies and a full and proper title challenge.

The Gunners have led the Premier League for the majority of the season but find themselves fighting for their top four place after a run of poor results and Everton’s resurgence below them.

A striker will be top of Wenger’s shopping list – at least fans would hope so – as it is painfully clear the club is lacking a forward this season with just Nicklas Bendtner and Yaya Sanogo back-up to Olivier Giroud.

Bayern Munich’s Mario Mandzukic is thought to be high on Wenger’s wishlist as Robert Lewandowski has already agreed to join the all-conquering supreme force of Bayern.

Despite leading the Bundesliga scoring charts this season, he is bound to be second choice next season so a move to Arsenal may well be on in the summer.

Diego Costa is also a target after a wonderful scoring season at Atletico Madrid. He has attracted interest from all around Europe and is bound to be high up in Wenger’s thoughts.

Another target for Arsenal is Julian Draxler. He was close to joining the north London club in January but the Gunners backed out as they felt he was too expensive at the time. Due to his rising stock, they may feel that they need to jump in on him quickly in the summer otherwise they risk missing out on the German star.

When Mandzukic has started a game in the Bundesliga this season, Bayern have won. For their three draws, he came off the bench.
