Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis claims that the club's revenue will be used to buy players in the summer transfer window.

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis has insisted that the North London club have enough funds to compete for the "best talent" in the transfer window.

The Premier League outfit have been criticised in recent seasons for failing to spend in the market while allowing the likes of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri to leave the club.

"We don't take money out of the club. All of it is reinvested and as we develop our commercial revenues, all of that money goes back on to the pitch and enables us to compete at higher levels," said Gazidis.

"Where we are aiming to be is at the very top table of clubs in the world and compete for the best talent. Our overriding priority is to make sure that we get the right pieces in place.

"The key for us is not the volume of signings we might make, but that the signings we make add something to the squad."

Meanwhile, Gazidis has claimed that Robin van Persie's future will not be confirmed until after the European Championships.
