Arsenal have a busy summer transfer window ahead and could look to put their prize money towards strengthening their squad with new signings
Arsenal have some big decisions to make this summer, and have the luxury of having the tag as Premier League champions to help them complete some deals. The Gunners could bank as much as £180million for their efforts in winning the title this season, based on previous champions Liverpool earning around £175million last term.
Not to mention, Arsenal have already earned around £125 million from reaching the Champions League final and could earn more prize money should they beat Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest next week.
The Gunners could go on to use the money they’ve earned from their success this season to fund some of their transfer business for the summer, but it’s still unclear which players they could target.
Sporting director Andrea Berta is likely to face yet another busy summer transfer window to prepare the squad to challenge for major honours yet again.

A host of players have been linked with a move to Arsenal, and the Gunners may be wise to look to make a statement signing to outline their ambitions to replicate their success for another campaign.
One such player who has been linked with a move to Arsenal is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who the Gunners are likely to face when they take on PSG in the Champions League final next weekend.
Another player to be linked with a move to Arsenal is Julian Alvarez, with the Atletico Madrid star scoring against the Gunners when the two clubs went head-to-head in the Champions League semi-final earlier this month.
Both players are likely to cost upwards of £100million, and would certainly take up a substantial portion of the club’s transfer budget, barring any possible departures from existing members of the squad.

Arsenal made the decision to sign a striker last summer and bring Viktor Gyokeres to the Emirates Stadium, and it remains to be seen if the Gunners will go into the market for another centre-forward this time around.
There has also been speculation that the Gunners may also try to sign a new winger, which could go on to fuel the rumours that Kvaratskhelia may be a target for Arsenal.
Signing one of Kvaratskhelia or Alvarez would likely require Arsenal to spend a club-record fee, but it could be the deal that they need to go to the next level and begin an era of domination domestically and in Europe.
