Arsenal have the capacity to spend in the January transfer window after boosting their annual revenue by a higher margin than any other Premier League team.

The north London club increased their income for the year ending June 30, 2024 by a staggering 35 per cent from the previous year to £607.2million, according to the Deloitte Football Money League 2025.

Only Manchester City (£710m) and Manchester United (£653m) have a higher revenue in the Premier League.

It is promising news for Gunners supporters with calls for the club to sign a striker reaching fever pitch this month after the 2-0 defeat to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg and crashing out of the FA Cup third round on penalties to Manchester United.
