Arsenal legend David Seaman has revealed his ‘frustration’ with the club’s apparent lack of ambition and their measly transfer budget this summer.
It has been widely claimed that manager Unai Emery has been granted just £40million to spend on strengthening his squad throughout the transfer window.
He could of course raise more cash by selling off some unwanted players, but the boss will struggle to find top-class talent in today’s market with such limited funds at his disposal.
And so it’s looking like a gloomy summer for the Gunners after a disappointing first campaign under their Spanish manager.
Emery has overseen some improved performances and led the team to the Europa League final, but a 4-1 thumping against Chelsea in Baku and a fifth place Premier League finish meant they missed out on Champions League football for next season.
They have also lost one of their best players, Aaron Ramsey, to Juventus on a free transfer – leaving a huge hole in their midfield.
And Seaman vented his frustration on Wednesday’s Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.
“It’s so frustrating at Arsenal because the club is running on a good profit,” said the former goalkeeper.
“The fans are frustrated at the moment, especially after the result in the Europa League final against Chelsea.

“It was a disappointing result, it was made a little bit better by the weekend result [arch rivals Tottenham being beaten by Liverpool in the Champions League final], but it’s so disappointing.
“They’re struggling. It’s just so frustrating being an Arsenal fan and an ex-Arsenal player at the moment.
“You know what the club is capable of, so you’re just like, ‘come on, let’s see what you’ve got!’

“When you look at Manchester United and Arsenal, they’re in a very similar situation – they both need to strengthen at the back and they’re both without Champions League football, so it’s going to be testing times.
“But I’d say United are in a better place than Arsenal because of their buying power and the money they will pay for players.”
