Arsenal to fund January splurge for at least two stars as title fight heats up
Arsenal's board are ready to throw everything behind Mikel Arteta to aid the Gunners' title charge in the New Year.
The Gunners find themselves sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League title two points clear of main rivals Manchester City, despite dropping points to Southampton over the weekend. And, according to The Sun, Stan Kroenke will inject £50million into the squad over January so they can avoid burnout.
Arteta is believed to be targeting at least two new players for his title-challenging side. The Gunners spent big over the summer, parting ways with over £130million as they burst out of the blocks in the early days of the season.

Arsenal are also looking at a potential deal for Villarreal's young standout Yeremy – who could cost around £25million.
