Arsenal are braced for another backlash from their supporters after warning them not to expect expensive summer signings. Arsenal have since been rejected by Jamie Vardy, the Leicester City striker, and been put off by expensive valuations of other forwards, while their rivals have spent heavily in the transfer market. Arsène Wenger, the manager, was interested in two other Leicester players but N’Golo Kanté, the midfielder, joined Chelsea while Riyad Ivan Gazidis, the Arsenal chief executive, believes that they have a squad equipped to win the title after the addition of Granit Xhaka, a holding midfielder, for about £25 million.
